                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bob Sans--an 
exceptional public servant, community leader, and dedicated family 
man--on the occasion of his retirement from the Department of Public 
Works of San Mateo County, CA.
  For 34 years Bob Sans has served San Mateo County with distinction 
and honor. His positions in the Department of Public Works have 
included associate highway engineer, assistant road superintendent, 
senior highway engineer, chief deputy county engineer, and most 
recently, director of public works. Not only has Bob Sans played an 
instrumental role in the success of the department, but he has also 
served in leadership positions with many professional organizations 
such as the San Mateo Credit Union, the County Administrators 
Association, the Peninsula Association of Contractors and Engineers, 
and the County Engineers Association of California.
  Bob Sans is a committed community volunteer who has been active in 
his church and local community groups throughout his entire life. From 
delivering means to home-bound seniors, helping build playground 
equipment for the YMCA, to raising money for local charities, Bob Sans 
is always available to lend a helping hand. I salute him for his deep 
caring and his dedication to serving those in need. He has touched the 
lives of so many and earned the utmost respect and regard from all whom 
he has worked and been associated with.
  Most important of all, Bob Sans is a devoted husband, father, 
grandfather, colleague and friend whose commitment to family, faith, 
community, and professional excellence is unsurpassed.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in honoring and 
congratulating this noble man for a lifetime of high achievement and 
devotion to all he has served. I'm blessed to know him and call him my 
friend.
