                         TRIBUTE TO JACK HAEHL

                                 ______


                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 20, 1994

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of my district's 
most dedicated and generous individuals, Jack Haehl, who is also 
affectionately known as Mr. Corte Madera.
  The town of Corte Madera is conducting a dedication ceremony in his 
honor to inaugurate improvements to the Village Square this Saturday, 
May 21, 1994. Jack Haehl was instrumental in achieving these 
renovations, and as many people acknowledge, the project would not have 
been completed without his vision. Today, I wish to recognize Jack for 
his commitment to the people of Corte Madera and Marin County, and to 
thank him for his years of service to the community.
  Jack Haehl has influenced the lives of so many individuals. As a 
schoolteacher at Terra Linda High School, Jack was a strong role model 
for his students, and he taught them how to express themselves through 
the arts. For years, he organized the crafts exhibit at the Marin 
County Fair, and his redwood carving representing Corte Madera hangs 
proudly in the Veteran's Auditorium. We are also fortunate that Jack 
shares his appreciation for the historical aspects of the town of Corte 
Madera, and that he has been so dedicated in helping others to achieve 
a clearer understanding of how they can be a part of the town's 
history.
  There is no doubt that throughout his years in the community Jack 
effectively articulated Corte Madera's values by helping to maintain 
and define its ``small town character.'' He helps the community set its 
objectives, and works with them to ensure that the community's goals 
are accomplished.
  These are only a few of the many reasons that the people of Corte 
Madera continually express gratitude for the tireless efforts of Jack 
Haehl. Time and time again he has extended himself on behalf of so many 
people and causes.
  Of course, no recognition would be complete without also mentioning 
Jack's equally dedicated wife, Ms. Corte Madera, Jana Haehl. Together 
they have made our town, our county, and our world a better place.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay tribute to Jack Haehl and 
to congratulate him for this achievement on this special occasion.
