                       IN MEMORY OF FRANK HEBROCK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 8, 2000

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay special tribute to 
Frank Hebrock, a Leesburg High School teacher and former Lake County 
Schools Superintendent candidate, who passed away on October 14, 2000. 
He leaves his wife, Bernie Hebrock, his son Scott and his brother Bill. 
Mr. Hebrock was a talented and committed teacher and was greatly loved 
and respected by his family, friends, students, and colleagues.
  Born in Cambridge, OH, where he attended high school, Mr. Hebrock 
later went on to major in education at the University of Ohio. After 
leaving Cambridge, he taught in Tallahassee and for the past five years 
in Leesburg, FL, he taught American and world history. Revered for his 
dedication, Mr. Hebrock exhibited a selfless commitment to his students 
both in and out of the classroom. He was devoted to actively involving 
students in their history lessons, and at the same time, equally 
devoted to fostering the students' physical well-being through his work 
as assistant football coach and junior varsity baseball coach at 
Leesburg High School. In addition, Mr. Hebrock combined his interest in 
government with his conviction in providing the highest quality of 
education to our area's schools by running for superintendent of the 
Lake County school system.
  Mr. Speaker, our community has truly suffered a great loss. We will 
all remember his outstanding contributions and are forever grateful for 
his shining leadership in the field of education. I would like to 
express my deepest condolences to his family, coworkers, and all of the 
students whose lives he so profoundly touched.
