                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 14, 1997

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the work of a 
remarkable couple, Alfred and Daryl Saunders. Their work as educators, 
entrepreneurs, parents, and community leaders has been a model of civic 
duty within our community. This commitment to their community is not a 
recent trend, rather it is a lifelong pursuit.
  As a young man, Al followed his dream and became a baseball umpire, 
after several years of umpiring he returned home to his family in 
California. A short time later he was called to serve his country and 
did so as a supply sergeant in the Korean war. Upon completing his tour 
of duty he entered the publishing business and he later established 
Newcastle Publishing Co. where he now serves as president and chief 
financial officer.
  Daryl's family moved to southern California when she was a young 
girl. She graduated from California State University-Northridge and 
went on to teach at the elementary school level. After years of 
teaching she elected to use her skills to assist low-income families by 
helping them find quality child care. She currently assists Al in the 
family's publishing business.
  In the Saunders' 30 years of marriage they have volunteered their 
time to several charitable organizations. The Shriners, Valley Jewish 
Business Leaders and City of Hope just to name a few. They also have 
served as volunteers and leaders in their local temple, the Temple Ner 
Maarav. In their 20 years at the temple, they have each served as 
president and vice-president on various committees and have been 
involved in virtually all aspects of the temple. Their dedication to 
their local community through their leadership and voluntarism is truly 
remarkable.
  It is an honor to represent Al and Daryl. In their hard work, close 
knit family and spirit of voluntarism they exemplify those 
characteristics that make this Nation great.
