                             HON. SAM FARR

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2004

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ted Fehring, who 
turned 90 on April 8th. Born to buggy manufacturers in Columbus, 
Indiana, Ted has lived a full and truly exceptional life. A man of the 
highest moral integrity, Ted has proven to be a devoted family man, 
dedicated member of the community, faithful Christian and successful 
businessman.
  Ted married Marie Theresa Grote on June 29, 1938, and the rest is 
history--with five daughters, Janet, Jean, Joy, Julie and JoAnn, 
thirteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, Ted has led a 
rich family life.
  As for his professional career, Ted has embarked successfully upon 
several different career paths: he was a teacher, a coach, an escrow 
officer, Vice-President of a Savings and Loan, and President of a 
Mortgage and Investment company. Ted has been a Carmel resident since 
June of 1945 and his active participation in our community has been 
invaluable.

He has been a member of the Lions Club, the Governing Board of the 
Church of the Wayfarer, the Red Cross, and has officiated many college 
football games--and this is only a fraction of his achievements!
  I have known Ted Fehring to always be an honest and good man. Ted's 
ability to balance work, community involvement and his family serves as 
a model to all of us in the central coast community. At 90, Ted 
continues to live his life to the fullest and it is truly an honor to 
be able to recognize him today.
