  Mr. STUPAK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a good friend and a 
dedicated juris, Judge Dean Shipman. Judge Shipman is retiring after 
serving 25 years on the bench in Escanaba MI. He began his career in 
1968 as a district court judge in Delta County. For 16 years, he served 
the people of the Upper Peninsula with distinction. This led to his 
appointment by then-Governor James Blanchard, to the 47th Judicial 
Circuit Court in 1985.
  In addition to Judge Shipman's work behind the bench, he has served 
on the Judge's Liaison Committee, the Michigan Commission on Criminal 
Justice, The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission, the State 
Judicial Council and the president of the Michigan District Judges 
Association. For his lifelong commitment to the people of the first 
district and the people of Michigan, Judge Shipman is worthy of 
recognition. Mr. Speaker, Judge Shipman has served honorably and has 
always maintained the highest level of integrity and justice and for 
that the people of Michigan are thankful.
