Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Hubert "Duder" Duderstadt. Duder was a child immigrant from Germany. He came to this country with almost nothing and was a classic example of the success immigrants represent to this nation and what they have added to the culture we all enjoy today. Duder was an example of what hard work and clean living will do. Married to the same woman. Alberta. for 56 years. raising three successful children and achieving ownership of his own farm were measures of such success. He clearly fulfilled the Will Rogers comment "I never met a man I didnt like." and it was always a pleasure to run into Duder.
