  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Fred Lick, 
Jr. Mr. Lick is being presented with an Alumni Lifetime Leadership 
Award by Cleveland State University. This is an award presented to 
alumni for exceptional achievements and leadership that have brought 
both pride and recognition to the University and to the community.
  Fred Lick earned his Juris Doctorate from the Cleveland-Marshall 
College of Law in 1961. Since his graduation, Mr. Lick has shown his 
leadership qualities in many fields and through diverse means.
  First, Mr. Lick has shown his unselfishness by dedicating himself to 
the national defense for nearly two decades. He joined the U.S. Army, 
and served for eight years. After leaving the Army, Mr. Lick joined the 
Ohio Military Reserve. The OMR is where Mr. Lick displayed his 
leadership capabilities. He quickly rose through the ranks of the OMR, 
earning the titles of Major General, Commander of the OMR, and 
Commander of the Joint State Area Command. Throughout his service to 
his country, Mr. Lick remained passionate about education, this is 
evidenced by his graduation from the National Defense University, 
Industrial College of the Armed Forces; U.S. Marine Corps Command and 
State College; and the Justice Advocate General's School.
  Mr. Lick's leadership has not been confined to simply military 
endeavors. Mr. Lick has served as the chairman, president and chief 
executive officer and currently serves as the chairman of the Central 
Reserve Life Corporation, now the Ceres Group.
  Mr. Lick also has dedicated himself to Delta Theta Pi, the national 
legal fraternity, and Miami University. He has held regional and 
national positions with Delta Theta Pi, culminating in his appointment 
as the National Deputy Chancellor in 1977. At Miami University, Mr. 
Lick spent several years serving as a member of the board of trustees 
and has recently been elected as the board president.
  In the 39 years since his graduation from Cleveland-Marshall, Mr. 
Lick has remained a positive influence on the College of Law. In this 
time Mr. Lick has served as the President of the Law Alumni 
Association, 1967-68, and has inaugurated the Annual Alumni Luncheon. 
This event now annually draws close to 1,000 attendees to honor 
colleagues for significant achievements in the legal community.
  My fellow colleagues, let us recognize and congratulate Mr. Lick for 
his years of dedication and leadership.
