                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 25, 2003

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Barbara 
Crittenden Schott of Detroit, Michigan, who passed away in her home in 
Riverside, California on June 13, 2003 at the age of 90. Her unselfish 
efforts to better the lives of those around her will be remembered 
through her dedication and commitment to numerous volunteer 
organizations.
  Barbara was the wife of the late General Wes Schott and mother of the 
late Christopher D. Schott. She is survived by her son, Kenneth and 
daughter-in-law, Marian Castro Schott of San Diego, California. She is 
also survived by her grandchildren, Derreth Schott Painter of Herndon, 
Virginia, Gwendolyn D. Schott of Hickory, North Carolina, and Charles 
Wesley Schott III of Escondido, California and four great-
grandchildren.
  Barbara Schott will be remembered for her volunteer work which began 
in 1940 with the American Red Cross. She was a tireless volunteer in 
both the military and private sectors, especially medical services 
organizations. Barbara served on the board of directors for both the 
Fort Worth and Roswell Good Neighbor Council. She also established the 
Arlington Ladies, a military wives club, and the Air Force-wide 
Dependents Assistance Program, now referred to as Family Services. But 
the people of Guam will especially remember Barbara for actively 
promoting broader military interaction with the civilian communities on 
Guam.
  Barbara will also be remembered for her efforts to advance the Fine 
Arts. Her cultural contributions include the Guam Arts Society, the 
Children's Theater Guild, the Achievement Rewards for College 
Scientists, the Costume Club of Los Angeles, and the Auxiliary of the 
Neighborhood Youth Council. Barbara was also an active member in the 
Los Angeles and Santa Monica Pi Beta Phi Club.
  On behalf of the people of Guam, I extend our condolences to the 
family of Barbara Crittenden Schott. Her selfless love of humanity will 
serve as an example for us to model our lives after.
