  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Mr. Robert 
M. Foulkrod, a writer, life coach, and spiritual awakening researcher 
who passed away on May 2, 2011.
  Mr. Foulkrod was born on May 8, 1924 in State College, Pennsylvania. 
He eventually moved to Dover, New Hampshire where he attended high 
school. After high school, Robert served with the U.S. Army, climbing 
the ranks from private to sergeant. He later earned his bachelor's 
degree in mechanical engineering at University of New Hampshire in 
1961. Upon completing his education, Robert again joined the armed 
forces and served with the U.S. Air Force as a lieutenant performing 
research on aircraft armament systems.
  Robert had very successful careers in electronic engineering and 
career counseling. As a mechanical engineering section manager with 
Sanders Associates, Inc., Mr. Foulkrod researched, designed and 
produced several new technologies and systems. During his tenure as an 
electronic engineer Robert was a member of the Institute for Electrical 
and Electronics Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical 
Engineers. After years as an electronic engineer, Robert changed 
careers and began working for Honeywell Computer Company as their 
hospital systems marketing manager. As marketing manager, he developed 
and performed inspirational training to hospital computer systems 
salespeople.
  Later, Mr. Foulkrod would work as a career change counselor with 
Bernard Haldane Associates. He served as a personal coach to people 
aspiring to change career paths. In addition to his influence as a 
counselor, Mr. Foulkrod was a revered researcher in spiritual 
awakening. He dedicated years of his life to research and published 
several articles with the United States Psychotronics Association. He 
also authored a number of books on the subject including Visit Boosting 
Friends and The Game of Awakening.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in remembrance of Mr. 
Robert M. Foulkrod, who served the country bravely and inspired many 
throughout his life. I offer my condolences to his life partner, 
Barbara Hero, three children, family, and friends.
