  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, heartiest congratulations to Glenn Hall 
on the occasion of his 90th birthday and a lifetime of teaching and 
learning. His career in education began in a one-room schoolhouse in 
1954, but he has taught every grade level, including graduate school, 
since then. While teaching at a Florida community college, in 1961, he 
received a Fulbright grant to teach English and American history in the 
Netherlands. Upon his return, he heard of the opening of a new 
community college in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and in 1965 was among 
the first instructors hired. During a 35-year teaching career at Bucks 
County Community College in Newtown Township, he also was Dean of 
Academic Affairs for 14 years. And in 1976 he was among the first group 
of educators to visit China after the communist takeover in 1949. As we 
congratulate Glenn Hall on this milestone birthday, we express our 
gratitude for his honorable service in the U.S. Navy and his 
contributions to the academic community and especially the students he 
inspired. May his future be filled with good health, happiness and new 
adventures.
