Reps. Jerry Stern (R-Martinsburg) and Rick Geist (R-Altoona) recently presented citations from the House of Representatives to Blair County Sheriff Lawrence Field Jr. and Blair County Commissioner Jeanne Bolger upon their recent retirements from public service.
“Jeanne and Larry are wonderful people who have each spent decades of their lives working to make Blair County a better and safer place to live, work and raise a family,” said Stern. “I applaud them for their many years of dedicated service and wish them all the best in the future.”
Field, of Altoona, retired after 20 years of service, making him the longest serving sheriff in Blair County history.
Bolger, of Martinsburg, retired after 32 years, making her the longest serving female elected official in the history of Blair County.
“It was a privilege to work with these two exemplary public servants, and this honor is very appropriate, considering the fine work they have done over the years,” said Geist. “I wish them well and hope that they enjoy themselves in retirement. They have earned the thanks and respect of all of us.”
The citations were presented to Field and Bolger during a luncheon at Lena’s Café on April 15.
