	years, they have been blessed with a treasured family that includes
	two daughters, Susan and Elizabeth, as well as a grandson, Jack; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Froebel holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical
	engineering from Purdue University and was employed by NASA and
	Lockheed Martin after leaving Hughes Tool; in the course of his
	career, he worked on the Skylab and space shuttle programs, and he
	helped patent a process for determining gas volume in a
	zero-gravity environment; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Froebel was one of the first female drafters to
