 HONORING MARTHA AND CARL LINDNER III ON THE OCCASION OF THE TEN YEAR 
           ANNIVERSARY OF CINCINNATI 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 Martha and Carl 
Lindner III, friends and constituents who will be recognized at a gala 
dinner and pageant on Saturday, October 30, 1999 for their leadership 
as one of the founding families of 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.
  Martha and Carl's involvement with CHCA began twelve years ago when 
they worked to develop a vision for the school, and their deep 
commitment to CHCA has never wavered.
  Carl was instrumental in developing the curriculum, particularly in 
the area of Biblical Integration. He established the Carl H. Lindner 
III Chair of Biblical Studies in 1993, which brings a speaker to the 
school each year for Spiritual Life Emphasis Week. He was a member of 
the founding Board of Trustees and Education Committee.
  Martha has participated in and led Bible studies at CHCA, served on 
the Visioning Committee, helped develop plans for the tennis complex 
and been very involved in numerous PTF and classroom activities. In 
addition to all this, Martha and Carl are enthusiastic supporters of 
the activities of their four children--all of whom attended CHCA.
  Martha and Carl Lindner are committed community leaders, and I 
congratulate them on this much deserved honor.
