             LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR ROBERT SHERMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 25, 1999

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to share with my colleagues the award 
for Lifetime Achievement that was presented to my remarkable 
constituent Bob Sherman by the Alumni Associations of the University of 
California, Santa Barbara. Bob Sherman, UCSB Class of 1947, has had a 
phenomenal record of success as a national and international senior 
tennis champion. He has won more senior tennis titles than all but one 
other player ever. Over the past thirty-five years there have been only 
a few in which he did not win a national or international championship. 
As recently as 1996 he won the singles Grand Slam. Yet in our hometown 
of Santa Barbara, he is better known as a very popular tennis pro and 
instructor who is eager to work with students of all ages.
  Bob Sherman remains active and competitive, with many lifetimes of 
achievement remaining in his wonderful career. He is a member of the 
UCSB Athletic Hall of Fame and is a testimonial that excellence can be 
achieved at every age, and therefore an example to us all. I am proud 
to join my friends at UCSB in recognizing Bob Sherman's on-going 
lifetime of achievement.
