                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to honor and 
congratulate L.A. Bud Critzer who has recently announced his retirement 
from the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District [HARD] after 35 
years of dedicated service. Bud's vision and hard work will be missed. 
He helped launch and maintain many of the parks located in the East 
Bay.
  Bud became general manager of HARD in 1968. His colleagues know him 
as someone who has always been committed to a diverse recreation area. 
The best-known sites which Bud helped develop are Sulphur Creek Nature 
Center, Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center, Mount Eden Park, and 
Kenneth C. Aitken Senior and Community Center.
  When Bud has spare time, he likes to fly and participate in local 
rodeos. Bud has also been very involved in organizations including the 
Kiwanis Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the YMCA and Pop Warner 
football.
  The board of directors of the park district will honor Bud at a 
dinner on May 21, 1994. I would like to thank Bud for his service and 
work to protect the environment. The facilities which he helped develop 
will continue to be enjoyed by one and all for years to come.

                          ____________________
