                  HONORING THE LIFE OF DALE SCHNEIDER

  (Mr. EMMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Dale 
Schneider, who passed away last week at the age of 76.
  Born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Dale took over the family-owned Sal's 
Bar and Grill in St. Joseph, Minnesota, from his parents in 1971. Sal's 
is at the crossroads of St. John's University and the College of St. 
Benedict, where all things Johnnies and Bennies reign supreme.
  For over 50 years, Dale kept thirsty students, faculty, and community 
members well hydrated and fed. Dale had a steel trap of a memory that 
helped to remember names of college

alumni years after graduation. In some cases, he also remembered their 
outstanding bar tabs.
  I had the pleasure of getting to know Dale during my many visits to 
Sal's over the years. No trip to a Johnnies football game was complete 
without a post-game beer at Sal's. There is some solace in the fact 
that the next time I am at Sal's, I will likely see his son, Kyle, 
tending bar just like his dad.
  To Dale's wife, Diane, and the rest of the family, we pray that 
Dale's lasting memory gives you comfort during this difficult time. A 
great life lived.
