  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, Rev. Bob Robertson of the Everett, PA, 
First United Church of Christ was recently honored for his 25 years of 
service to the church and to the community.
  I rise to pay tribute to this outstanding man of the cloth. Bob 
Robertson not only has served his church with distinction, but has 
played an extraordinary, behind-the-scenes role in helping those most 
in need in the community. He is the Pastor to our church in our

little hometown which has a sign greeting you as you enter the borough: 
``Everett's Churches Welcome You'', reflecting the value of religion 
and faith in our community.
  Bob Robertson's guidance and sense of vision has been a rock on which 
the town has built itself as a great place to live and work. Bob is a 
selfless man who always puts the welfare of others in front of his own. 
His wife, Barbara, and their children have also played a key role in 
making our community a better place to live. I personally know of many 
of his good deeds to help people in need, deeds which have never been 
publicized but have touched the lives and hearts of many. He is an 
unsung hero who exemplifies the best there is in those who have 
dedicated their lives to their God, their church, and the people they 
serve.
