                     TRIBUTE TO MR. AND MRS. HEINDL

                                 ______


                      HON. WILLIAM F. CLINGER, JR.

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 23, 1995
  Mr. CLINGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. and Mrs. 
Heindl for the many acts of kindness they have bestowed on our 
community. It is an honor and a privilege to express my gratitude to 
this generous couple. Truly, the Heindls epitomize the type of people 
that make our local communities great. These are the real life heros 
that kindle the spirit of giving in each one of us.
  When we look at role models in history, the ones who get recognized 
the most are sometimes the least worthy. I hope that volunteers like 
the Heindls continue to be recognized as they are most deserving. One 
of the traits that make people like the Heindls so special is that they 
do it out of the goodness of their heart. The only motives behind their 
actions is the hope that those around them will in some way be bettered 
by their hard work. I can speak for everyone when I say that we have 
all been touched by their philanthropy.
  One of the most important facets in our society is the education 
system; it lays the foundation for future leaders. Contributions, like 
those of the Heindls, prove to enhance the system and benefit community 
members for years to come. The Ridgway residents I am speaking of today 
have made significant contributions to the Ridgway Area Public Schools. 
They have selflessly donated their time and resources to ensure that 
new facilities would be constructed for use by all students. By giving 
of themselves so freely, they set an example for all of us to follow.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to recognize Mr. and Mrs. 
Heindl for all of their kindness and dedicated service on behalf of the 
Ridgway community. I extend to them my best wishes for continued health 
and happiness.
