  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Gemperle 
Family of Turlock, California upon receiving the 2005 Distinguished 
Citizens Award from The Greater Yosemite Council, Boy Scouts of 
America. The family will be honored on Wednesday, October 26, 2005 at 
The Greater Yosemite Council, Boy Scouts of America 2005 Distinguished 
Citizens Award Dinner in Modesto, California.
  As a leader in the egg production business in the Turlock area since 
the 1950's, the Gemperle Family has transformed a small family business 
into an industry-leading, technology driven company. In addition to the 
great successes achieved in business, the Gemperle Family has 
distinguished itself through its leadership and generosity to many 
communities throughout California's Central Valley.
  Ernie T. Gemperle, the family patriarch, has served in many 
positions, including President, on his local Boy Scouts of America 
Executive Board. For over 35 years, the Gemperle Family has hosted an 
annual fundraising event to benefit the Boy Scouts of America. 
Moreover, the Gemperle Family has earned a well deserved reputation for 
supporting numerous causes, including Catholic Charities, California 
State University-Stanislaus, and the arts.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Gemperle Family upon receiving the 
2005 Distinguished
