                       Tuesday, November 18, 2003

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Robert Glockner, a 
distinguished Californian, as he receives the 2003 St. Madeleine Sophie 
Barat Award. This award, named for the foundress of the Society of the 
Religious of the Sacred Heart, honors individuals who have made 
extraordinary contributions to Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton, over a 
significant period of time. Sacred Heart Schools founded in 1897, 
includes St. Joseph's School of the Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart 
Preparatory.
  Robert Glockner, Trustee Emeritus, became involved with Sacred Heart 
School in 1975 when the first of his four daughters to graduate from 
Sacred Heart Preparatory enrolled in the school. In 1976 he was asked 
to serve on the Advisory Board that later became the governing Board of 
Trustees. Mr. Glockner served as the Chair of the School's first major 
capital campaign and helped to raise $3.5 million and funded the 
completion of the McGanney Gymnasium. From 1984 to 1986 he served as 
Chair of the Board. For his determination and leadership during his 
twelve years on the Board he was named Trustee Emeritus, a distinction 
bestowed on only two other Board members.
  I'm exceedingly proud to honor his work, his values, and his 
commitment to Sacred Heart Schools. He is a model for others to emulate 
and his leadership will touch generations of students to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Robert 
Glockner as he receives the 2003 St. Madeleine Sophie Barat Award for 
his extraordinary contributions to Sacred Heart Schools.
