                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2001

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of 
James Beaver. Sergeant Beaver has served with distinction for nearly 30 
yeas as a member of the Police Department at California State 
University, Long Beach.
  Sergeant James Beaver came to the CSULB Police Department after 
serving our country in Vietnam as a member of the Army. Upon his 
return, Sergeant Beaver found a calling in public service that appealed 
to him strongly, and joined the Campus Police on September 6, 1972,
  During his tenure, Sergeant Beaver has provided University students, 
staff and guests with the highest levels of professional police 
service. He has distinguished himself in perhaps the highest order of 
being an unparalleled mentor of colleagues and new officers for nearly 
three decades. Sergeant Beaver has been a model member of both his 
profession and his community.
  Sergeant Beaver will close his professional police career effective 
December 31, 2001. When he retires, Sergeant Beaver will look back on a 
career that spanned a period of unprecedented change in our country, 
and extraordinary dynamic growth in our nation's colleges and 
universities.
  So best wishes to Sergeant Beaver. He will be missed but not 
forgotten by all those friends and colleagues who will gather on 
December 22 to wish him the very best for a long, active and healthy 
retirement.
