                         Thursday, May 27, 2010

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate an 
individual from my Congressional District who will be presented with 
the 2010 Father of the Year Award next week in Riverside, California.
  The purpose of the Father of the Year Awards is to honor fathers who 
have remained a positive role model for their children while also 
making a positive difference in their community.
  John Gless is one of those fathers. He has been married to his wife 
Janet for 52 years, and has four children and 11 grandchildren. As 
owner and founder of Gless Ranch, John has been an active member of the 
California farming community and avid supporter of numerous charitable 
organizations.
  I am proud to call John a fellow community member and American. And 
today, I add my voice to the many who will be congratulating him on 
this well-deserved recognition.
