  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, host of the popular radio show, Hawkeye 
in the Morning, Mark ``Hawkeye'' Louis is an avid baseball card 
collector. Since his childhood, Hawkeye spent years collecting Major 
League Baseball cards, with the collection eventually totaling an 
impressive 17,000 cards. Instead of letting the collection continue to 
collect dust, he decided to give back to our community by selling the 
cards and donating the proceeds.
  Hawkeye decided the enormous impact of donating the more than $10,000 
in proceeds would make him more proud than hanging onto the cards ever 
could. His background in volunteer work and fundraising at DFW 
children's hospitals made Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth the 
perfect choice.
  Hawkeye's story is inspiring and his selfless donation will help 
hundreds of children in our district. I want to thank Mark ``Hawkeye'' 
Louis for his ongoing support of North Texas children and children's 
hospitals throughout our community.
