                         TRIBUTE TO FRED ADOLPH

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 26, 1994

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Fred 
Adolph, retired professor of political science at St. Clair County 
Community College. Fred spent over 40 years teaching students in the 
Blue Water community; more than 10 years as a junior high teacher and 
the last 30 at the community college.
  Fred's dynamic approach to teaching has made him a favorite among 
students. Along with political science, Fred taught classes on State 
and local government and contemporary affairs. His commitment to 
teaching extends well outside the classroom. He cosponsored 12 European 
tours in which approximately 300 students have visited 15 countries.
  Although he will be missed at the college, Fred has no plans to slow 
down. He and his wife Diane, also a retired teacher, will be traveling 
to Khabarovsk, Siberia. Fred has been invited to teach at the 
Khabarovsk Teacher's Training College, St. Clair County Community 
College's sister school. Fred's plans to teach a series of seminars 
there in keeping with his philosophy that ``People are people the world 
over.'' He will be teaching ``grass roots politics, empowering them to 
govern themselves.'' Fred firmly believes that people will get along 
well when they are allowed to represent themselves. I am confident Fred 
will be as respected and appreciated in Siberia as in St. Clair County.
  As the walls between East and West continue to crumble, Fred and 
Diane Adolph will help construct the bridges that will link us 
together. I applaud their efforts as former teachers and wish them 
continued success in retirement. I am pleased to pay tribute to the 
Adolphs and ask that my colleagues join me in saluting them as they 
continue to promote education in our community and the world.
