                                 ______


                       HON. ESTEBAN EDWARD TORRES

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 1995

  Mr. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Judge Robert 
O. Young. Judge Young retired on August 15, 1995, from the Citrus 
Municipal Court after more than 20 years of judicial service on behalf 
of the residents of the San Gabriel Valley.
  Before beginning his professional career, Judge Young served in the 
U.S. Army as a member of the German Occupation Force during World War 
II. Soon after returning to the United States, he married Sylvia, his 
lovely wife of 46 years. They have two daughters and four 
grandchildren.
  Judge Young received his bachelor of arts degree from Pepperdine 
College and his master of science degree from University of California 
at Los Angeles. In 1963, he graduated from the University of Southern 
California Law Center and was admitted to State Bar of California.
  In addition to his contributions on the bench, Judge Young has for 
many years played an active role in the community, including serving as 
a councilmember and mayor of the city of West Covina, a trustee of 
Azusa Pacific University and as an active member and an elder in the 
Community Presbyterian Church of West Covina. Judge Young is also a 
past recipient of the Equal Justice Award presented by the NAACP San 
Gabriel Valley chapter.
  Judge Robert Young's career shows that through hard work, 
determination and dedication one's goals can be achieved. His 
commitment to community service should be regarded on the highest 
level.
  Mr. Speaker I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Judge Robert 
O. Young on his retirement from the Citrus Municipal Court.
