  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, when Dr. Guy ``Mojo'' Lewis walks into 
a room, everyone knows it. With his larger-than-life stature and the 
mystic of Texas legend Sam Houston, his commanding presence captures 
attention. People can't help but smile when they see him, his presence 
is contagious.
  As a personal friend and fellow Abilene Christian University Alum, I 
would like to congratulate this outstanding Texan for celebrating his 
30th anniversary of practicing dentistry.
  Dr. Lewis knew from early on that he wanted to be a dentist, never 
wavering in his decision to make people smile. After graduating from 
Abilene Christian University ('80), Dr. Lewis earned his Doctorate of 
Dentistry from Baylor College of Dentistry.
  In 1984, he became a founding member of the American Academy of 
Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), at a time when cosmetic dentistry was 
beginning to emerge. He became the youngest cosmetic dentist to be 
accredited by the AACD. Additionally, he is also a member of the Texas 
Dental Association and the American Dental Association. He received a 
fellowship in the International Academy for Dental Facial Esthetics.
  Dr. Lewis continues to give back to the community and takes time to 
guide aspiring dentists as well. Recognizing the important of 
education, Dr. Lewis is an adjunct professor of dentistry at Baylor 
College.
  The legend that is Dr. Lewis is known far and wide. His extensive 
knowledge of cosmetic dentistry and his incredible work ethic quickly 
gained him respect from his colleagues in the dental profession. Over 
his career, Dr. Lewis was routinely recognized for his expertise and 
contributions to the dental community.
  His list of credentials could fill a sports arena, literally. He is 
the dentist of Olympic gold medal athletes, the Houston Astros, the 
Houston Rockets and many more.
  He was named a ``Top Doc'' for 7 consecutive years by H Texas 
Magazine and was listed as a ``Super Dentist'' by Texas Monthly 
Magazine for multiple years. In addition, Dr. Lewis was elected by a 
group of his peers to be in the book Best Dentists in America.
  In addition to his notable recognition for his work within the dental 
community, Dr. Lewis has continued to serve on advisory boards of many 
non-profit organizations and on the boards of several schools. I served 
alongside him on the Abilene Christian University Board.
  Our community has benefited greatly from the decades of service that 
Dr. Lewis has devoted. Dr. Lewis and his staff continue to be involved 
with Cypress-Woodlands Junior Forum, Be an Angel Fund, and Give Back a 
Smile.
  The list of this model citizen's accomplishments is impressive and 
well-deserved, and it's no surprise that he's a Texan.
  Dr. Lewis's service to his city, state and nation as well as his 
faith will have an enduring positive impact.
  A dedicated family man, Dr. Lewis has been married to his wife, Holly 
for 33 years. Together, they are the proud parents of five children. 
Firm believers in Christian education, Dr. Lewis sent his children to 
Northland Christian School, the same school that my children attended, 
and where we both served on the Board of Trustees.
  His success can be attributed to his faith, happy attitude about life 
and his career, and his genuine compassion and care for his patients. 
Dr. Lewis, thank you for your 30 years of service to our community and 
the State of Texas.
  Another great, Texas legend we are proud to have among our neighbors. 
To 30 more years of making people smile, thank you Dr. Guy ``Mojo'' 
Lewis.
  And that's just the way it is.
