I do not know if angels blush, but I know right now there is one angel blushing, and that is Frank Tejeda, because he is the most modest of individuals. He would look at us right now and say, you need not do this, I do what I need to do. So in naming a post office after Frank, I think we pay him tribute but it is a tribute that he himself would probably say, I just did my job. And unfortunately in this case, we are doing it because he has left us, and I wish we did not have to name a post office after Frank. If we take a look at the bill for today, there are two paragraphs, and in typical Frank Tejeda style, that is the way he would like it. More than two paragraphs probably would be too long for Frank, because he would say, keep it simple, keep it brief. I think we could all learn a great deal from a man for whom simplicity was such a tribute and such a way of life.
