    HONORING EDYTH AND CARL LINDNER ON THE OCCASION OF THE TEN YEAR 
           ANNIVERSARY OF CINICINNATI HILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROB PORTMAN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 28, 1999

  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my distinguished 
constituents, Edyth and Carl Lindner, who will be recognized at a gala 
dinner and pageant on Saturday, October 30, 1999 for their many 
contributions to the prestigious Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy 
(CHCA) located in Mason, Ohio.
  CHCA is one of the fastest-growing schools in the country and has 
earned a reputation for excellent academics, competitive sports and 
extracurricular activities. In 1997, I had the privilege of presenting 
the U.S. Department of Education's Blue Ribbon School Award to CHCA 
Elementary. CHCA's goal is to nurture and support each student toward 
individual growth. The school embraces students parents and faculty 
within the care of a Christian community.
  Mr. and Mrs. Lindner are among Cincinnati's most prominent and 
generous citizens, and they have been strong supporters of CHCA since 
its inception 10 years ago. Their devotion to the school is evidenced 
by the Edyth B. Lindner Elementary School and the Lindner Fine Arts 
Center.
  In addition to raising a family that now consists of three sons, 
three daughters-in-law and eleven grandchildren, the Lindners give 
countless hours to many charitable causes in our community. Through her 
work on the highly successful fundraiser, the Greater Cincinnati 
Classic Horse Show, Edyth has assured significant contributions to the 
Shriners' Burn Institute and has built the endowed scholarship fund at 
CHCA to one million dollars.
  The fact that the Lindner family calls Cincinnati ``home'' is a true 
blessing to our entire community. Edyth and Carl Lindner continue to 
make Cincinnati a better place for our children and we owe them much 
gratitude. I congratulate them on this well-deserved honor.
