  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Carl T. Baker 
for receiving the 33rd Annual J. Walter Juckett Community Service Award 
from the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. Baker was born in Gloversville, New York, in 1951. He received a 
Bachelor of Arts Degree from Cornell University in 1973 and earned his 
Juris Doctorate Degree from Albany Law School in 1978. The following 
year, he was admitted to the New York State Bar. Mr. Baker then planted 
his roots in Glens Falls, where he went on to become a founding 
shareholder of Fitzgerald Morris Baker Firth P.C., a renowned legal 
practice that serves clients throughout the state to this day with 
attorneys specializing in nearly every major discipline of law.
  Mr. Baker has written several publications in the legal field and has 
lectured for the New York State Bar Association Continuing Legal 
Education program. In 2015, he was elected to the American College of 
Trusts and Estates Counsel and has been recognized with several law 
awards. In addition to his honorable career as an attorney, Mr. Baker 
has an illustrious record serving on the boards and committees of 
several reputable community organizations and charitable groups, 
including the Glens Falls Kiwanis Foundation, Board of Governors of 
Glens Falls Hospital, Planned Giving Council of Glens Falls Hospital, 
Widowed Persons Service of Greater Glens Falls Area, and several 
others.
  Carl T. Baker has led a life devoted to service, charity, and 
leadership. It is clear why Baker was chosen as the recipient of the 
prestigious J. Walter Juckett Community Service Award by the Adirondack 
Regional Chamber of Commerce. This award is the chamber's most 
distinguished for community service and is named in honor of J. Walter 
Juckett, a remarkable businessman and civic leader. On behalf of New 
York's 21st District, I would like to congratulate Carl on this honor 
and thank him for his years of service in the North Country.
