                         HONORING MR. CY GLUECK

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 24, 2010

  Mrs. EMERSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a 
renowned member of my district, a great Missourian and a great 
American. Mr. Cy Glueck passed away on Monday, March 22, after a 
lifetime of service to Southern Missouri.
  Mr. Glueck may be best known throughout the region as the inventor of 
the Original Bologna Burger at Schindler's Tavern in New Hamburg. If 
you haven't ever had one, they are well worth the trip. Mr. Glueck and 
his wife operated the tavern for 28 years and are directly responsible 
for its stellar reputation. Cherished as a true gathering place for the 
community, Mr. Glueck made sure everyone felt welcome in his 
establishment, whether it was for family meals or euchre card games or 
turkey shoots.
  As part of his philanthropy, Mr. Glueck hosted the Kow Pasture 
Klassic golf tournament--played in a pasture with tennis balls hit by 
any instrument from golf clubs to baseball bats. The point was to have 
fun and celebrate, but also to benefit a local charity. No annual event 
in the community was more anticipated than that one.
  Yet Mr. Glueck's contributions to the community extend far beyond 
bologna. He was a

member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, advanced in the Knights 
of Columbus Council, active in the Elk's Lodge, and on the board of the 
Kenny Rogers Children's Center. Mr. Glueck was a mainstay in the 
community, and he will be remembered well for his good humor, kind 
nature, and boundless energy.
  I want to commend his life to the U.S. House of Representatives as a 
model of community service. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. 
Glueck's wife, Dorothy, and the many family and friends who today mourn 
a great loss.
