                      TRIBUTE TO QUENTIN ALEXANDER

                                 ______


                            HON. BILL BAKER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 7, 1995
  Mr. BAKER of California. Mr. Speaker, we are all aware of the 
outstanding work the Boy Scouts of America [BSA] does in training 
future generations of leaders for our country, and I can testify 
personally to the benefits of Scouting in my own life. That's why it is 
a particular pleasure for me to recognize my friend Quentin Alexander 
today in the Congressional Record.
  Quentin has been in professional Scouting for the past 38 years, 
during the last 21 of which he has served as the Scout executive in the 
Mount Diablo-Silverado Council of the BSA in my home region in the East 
Bay of San Francisco. Under his stellar leadership, the Mount Diablo-
Silverado Council now serves as the facilitating organization for 
18,000 Scouts every year. The Council Endowment Fund has been 
substantially enlarged under Quentin's careful stewardship, and the new 
Scout Service Center will offer quality Scouting services for decades 
to come.
  Quentin and his gracious wife Nancy plan to remain in our mutual 
hometown of Danville after Quentin leaves the Mount Diablo-Silverado 
Council and look forward to staying active in church and community 
affairs. While Scouting will miss Quentin's active participation, I 
look forward to benefiting from Quentin's sage counsel and deep concern 
for America's youth for years to come. It is an honor for me to applaud 
Quentin's splendid service to our Nation's young people, and to extend 
my best wishes to him, Nancy, and their loved ones for all the days 
ahead.
