  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of longtime Walnut Creek resident, Mr. Frank Bryant.
  Frank was born on April 24, 1936 in Elko, Nevada to parents Howard 
and Charlotte Bryant. After his family moved to California, Frank 
attended San Jose State University before settling in Walnut Creek with 
his wife Susan. Frank and Susan resided in Walnut Creek for over 50 
years. Throughout this time, Frank was deeply committed to serving the 
East Bay community.
  An architect by trade, Frank designed several commercial and 
residential buildings throughout Walnut Creek. A strong partner with 
the City of Walnut Creek, Frank designed a community theater and 
renovated an East Bay landmark, the Borges Ranch House.
  Frank also used his architectural expertise in his positions on the 
Walnut Creek Design Review Commission, the Civic Arts Association, and 
the Walnut Creek Planning Commission. As a further testament to his 
commitment to the community, Frank was a founding member and the first 
president of the Kennedy-King Memorial College Scholarship Fund, an 
organization that pays tribute to two American heroes while helping 
provide students access to educational opportunities.
  Please join me in honoring Frank Bryant, whose devotion to public 
service had a profound impact on his community.
