                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hal Baldwin, 
mayor of Schertz, Texas, for his commitment to public service.
  Hal Baldwin's life has been fully dedicated towards helping of his 
fellow citizens ever since he served with the 51st Fighter Interceptor 
Wing at Naba Air Force Base during the Korean war. He continued to 
serve with the U.S. Air Force until 1974, when he retired from the 
military profession as a senior master sergeant.
  After the conclusion of his military tenure, Baldwin moved back to 
Schertz where he served 6 years as the assistant city manager of 
Schertz. After his tour of duty as the assistant city manager, Baldwin 
was appointed to the Schertz City Council in 1983. He served his 
community with distinction in this post until May 1994 when the City 
Councilman Hal Baldwin became the Mayor Hal Baldwin.
  Now, going on 11 years of service to Schertz as Mayor, Hal Baldwin 
also has spent 48 lovely years with his wife Barbara. They have five 
children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grand children, all of 
whom Mayor and Mrs. Baldwin love dearly.
  Mr. Speaker, I am deeply proud to have been given this opportunity to 
recognize the Schertz mayor, Hal Baldwin, for his dedicated public 
service.
