  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate an 
individual from my Congressional District who will be presented with 
the 2010 Father of the Year Award next week in Riverside, California.
  The purpose of the Father of the Year Awards is to honor fathers who 
have remained a positive role model for their children while also 
making a positive difference in their community.
  Ramon Alvarez is one of those fathers. He is married to his wife 
Araceli and together they have three children. He is also President of 
Alvarez Lincoln-Mercury and Alvarez Jaguar, and throughout his 
successful career, Ramon has made a strong commitment to local and 
civic activities.
  I am proud to call Ramon a fellow community member and American. And 
today, I add my voice to the many who will be congratulating him on 
this well-deserved recognition.

                          ____________________
