                         TRIBUTE TO BILL BRODY

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 1994

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Bill 
Brody, district manager of the Mount Clemens office of the Michigan 
Rehabilitative Services. Mr. Brody retired yesterday after nearly 27 
years with the Michigan Rehabilitative Services.
  Taking an active role in our community is a responsibility we all 
share but few fulfill. Bill has devoted himself to this task as a 
counselor and manager for many years. He is especially known for his 
work with the Macomb Intermediate School District. The development of 
the model special education youth project and the Macomb Academy 
program for educable mentally impaired youth are largely due to Bill's 
efforts.
  His leadership style also contributes to Bill's successful work. The 
full participation of his staff in decisionmaking has allowed each 
individual's creativity to maximize the quality of services clients 
receive. His dedication and professionalism have earned him respect and 
recognition from his colleagues and those he serves. Most recently, 
Bill received the prestigious Sheldon E. Westermann Award from the 
Metropolitan Detroit Rehabilitation Association.
  Bill was honored by his colleagues at an open house and retirement 
reception on January 6. His recognition is truly deserved. On the 
occasion of his official retirement, I am pleased to pay tribute to 
Bill Brody. I ask that my colleagues join me in wishing Bill all the 
best in retirement.
