                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 1997

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commend Keith and Anne 
Medeiros for their distinguished careers of service to the community of 
Fremont, California. For 42 years, Keith and Anne lived in the Fremont 
area. In that time, they consistently worked to make our community a 
better place. Both have been dedicated to the field of education as 
elementary school teachers. Keith Medeiros also served as school 
principal, and as a member of the Alameda County Board of Education. 
Anne Medeiros taught English as a second language.
  Their service to the community has been diverse. Keith Medeiros 
worked as an Indian Guide Dad, a Pathfinder Toastmaster, a Chamber of 
Commerce activist, a Fremont Rotarian, an on and off stage actor and 
toastmaster, and a Washington Township Men's Club member. Anne Medeiros 
served the community as a representative for Congressman Don Edwards, 
and as a board member for the Serra Center and the Committee to Restore 
the Mission. They shared their talents as members of the Fremont 
Gourmet Club, the Fremont Dance Club, and the Fremont Kite Flyers. They 
have been world-wide travelers, goodwill ambassadors, and advocates for 
historic Mission San Jose.
  Keith and Anne Medeiros set a new standard as innkeepers for those 
whose travels took them to the Bay Area. Their hospitality was a 
welcome respite for travelers.
  On September 22, 1997 the friends and colleagues of Keith and Anne 
Medeiros will honor their many years of community service. I join my 
neighbors as they extend a thank you to Keith and Anne for all they 
have done for Fremont.
