  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
of San Marcos City Councilman Gaylord Bose, of my Congressional 
District.
  Gaylord Bose was born near Avoca, Nebraska near Cass County, and 
graduated in 1957 from Avoca High School. In 1958 he enrolled at the 
University of Nebraska, and in 1960 he began his own business.
  Mr. Bose was involved in many community activities in their hometown, 
he served on the school board, as a member of the Weeping Water co-op 
Association, Secretary of the Volunteer Fire Department, president of 
the local sports program for young people, a 4-H club leader, church 
council, Sunday school teacher, and member of the Cass County 4-H 
Board.
  In 1982 Gaylord and his family moved to Waller, Texas to work for 
Star of Hope Rescue Mission, a substance abuse rehabilitation program. 
Wanting to expand his ability to help others, he enrolled at the 
University of Houston and studied chemical abuse counseling program. He 
later earned a license as a chemical dependency counselor. In 1989 he 
was offered a job with the Wackenhut Corporation and became the Center 
Director of the Kyle facility.
  After Gaylord Bose moved to San Marcos he became an active member 
Greater Castle Forest Neighborhood Association, and he was appointed by 
the San Marcos City Council to the Transportation Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have this opportunity to recognize Gaylord 
Bose for his dedication and contributions in the community.
