  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Frank J. Chulay and 
wish him a very happy 100th birthday on September 13, 2021. Mr. Chulay 
is a distinguished resident of Lincolnwood, Illinois. He had an 
honorable civic service career serving the Village of Lincolnwood and 
served as Village President from 1985 to 1993.
  Frank J. Chulay was born on September 13, 1921. He immigrated to the 
US through Ellis Island at the age of 2 with his parents, Frank and 
Elizabeth, from the Hungarian part of Romania and moved to the City of 
Chicago.
  Mr. Chulay spent two years at Wright Junior College and attended 
Chicago Teacher's College, where he met Altanah, and they later 
married. He volunteered for a program in the Army Air Corps and was 
called up to active duty in 1943. Mr. Chulay was trained as a pilot and 
flew B-24 bombers in the South Pacific. He resigned from the military 
in 1945, attended DePaul University under the GI Bill, and received a 
degree in accounting in 1946. In 1967 Frank and Altanah moved to 
Lincolnwood.
  Mr. Chulay served as Lincolnwood Village President from 1985 to 1993. 
He was instrumental in bringing Paramedic Services of Illinois to 
Lincolnwood in 1989 and helped build the new Village Hall campus. 
During his term as Mayor, he cast the tiebreaking vote to approve the 
application to build the Lincolnwood Town Center.
  Mr. Chulay treated all he interacted with respect and always put the 
needs of the Village residents first. He was active in the Northwest 
Municipal League, where he served as the President for one term, and 
active in the National League of Cities.
  Mr. Chulay was married to Altanah for 48 years before her death in 
1992, and has two children, Jeff and Jill, two grandchildren, Kristin 
and Amy, and one great-grandson, Matthew. Frank has been married to 
Irma Chulay since 1995.
  I appreciate Mr. Chulay's service to the Lincolnwood community and 
wish him a very happy 100th birthday.
