  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Bob 
Sherman of Denton, TX, on receiving the Longhorn Boy Scouts of America 
Distinguished Citizen Award for this year.
  Mr. Sherman returned to Denton with his wife after 30 years of a 
banking career in Chicago. Bob Sherman was president and chief 
executive officer of First Colonial Bankshares. He is on the board of 
directors for Northstar Bank of Texas and serves on the President's 
Council, College of Arts and Sciences Advisory Board and the strategic 
planning committee for the University of North Texas. Today, he 
continues his life of service through his position on the board of 
Denton Christian School and is leading the capital campaign for 
Cumberland Presbyterian Children's Home.
  The Longhorn Council of the Boy Scouts of America serves more than 
40,000 youths with scouting programs in Central and North Texas. More 
than 15,000 adults volunteer to help with the programs. This 
prestigious award is given to members of the community whose leadership 
focuses on volunteerism.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Bob Sherman for receiving 
the Longhorn Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizen Award. His 
contributions and service to the Denton community should inspire us 
all.
