                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO FRED A. LUNDIN

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise with a heavy heart to pay 
tribute to the life and memory of Fred ``Fritz'' Lundin of Glenwood 
Springs, Colorado. I personally knew Fritz well, and he was a man of 
the highest integrity and ethics and a natural leader in the community. 
As his family mourns his passing, I believe it appropriate to recognize 
the life of this exceptional man.
  Born and raised in Brady, Nebraska, Fritz first moved to Colorado 
when he attended the University of Denver to study accounting on an 
ROTC scholarship. As a fighter pilot, Fritz honorably served our 
country in both Korea and Vietnam. For his service in Vietnam, he was 
awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Following his military service 
he received his MBA from the University of Colorado.
  In 1950, Fritz married Bette Coad with whom he had four children. 
Fritz retired from the Air Force in 1973 and moved to Glenwood Springs. 
During the years Fritz spent in Glenwood Springs, he became active in 
the community as a supporter of high school athletics. An avid sports 
enthusiast, he enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren 
participate in athletics, and he enjoyed outdoor activities with his 
family. In 1980, Fritz remarried Cindy Dollins with whom he shared a 
successful accounting practice and with whom he had a son.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Fred ``Fritz'' Lundin and 
pay tribute to his life as a valuable citizen of Glenwood Springs. 
Fritz held both himself and others to the highest standards. His 
competitiveness was contagious, making people around him better. I wish 
to express my deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this 
difficult time of bereavement.
