Printed by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in Pennsylvania, United States of America, 2020. ISBN: 9-9667794-0-1 Acknowledgments This is the fourth edition of a project which began in the summer of 1995 when the Speaker’s Director of Special Projects, Jeanne Hearn Schmedlin, mobilized a group of interns to begin writ- ing biographies of past Speakers of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The first edition of this book was published in 2004, and an updated and expanded version was printed in 2008. Seeing the need to review and update the book, House Archivist Heidi Mays again looked to the Speaker’s interns who began the lengthy revision process in 2011, with the aim of revising the publication with uniform style. As such, each biography now includes the Speaker’s education, career pursuits, elected positions, leadership positions, legislative issues endeavored during the speakership, post-speakership activity and personal information. We are extremely grateful to several college students who served semester-long internships in the Office of the Speaker through the State System of Higher Education’s Harrisburg Internship Semester.
