                     TRIBUTE TO DR. RONALD POLLACK

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 26, 1995
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Ronald 
Pollack. Ron is retiring after a lifetime of personal and professional 
devotion to public education.
  Ron began his career as a teacher and counselor in the Detroit public 
schools. He is retiring as the director of the Department of Support 
and Auxiliary Services from the County of Macomb's Intermediate School 
District.
  Ron's varied experience has allowed pre-schoolers, special education 
students, adult education students, and many others to profit from his 
expertise. In addition to his leadership role at the ISD, he has taught 
at some of Michigan's most reputable Universities, including Wayne 
State, Okland, Saginaw Valley, the University of Detroit, and the 
University of Michigan. He has also acted as a consulant for adult 
education classes co-sponsored by the United Auto Workers and both Ford 
Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp.
  Taking an active role in one's community is a responsibility we all 
share, but few fulfill. Ron Pollack has devoted himself to this task 
through both professional and civil endeavors. His commitment to 
education is second to none. Meanwhile, he also finds time to work with 
many outside groups dedicated to improving individual lives. The 
Private Industry Council, the Metropolitan Detroit National Alliance of 
Business and numerous other organizations have all benefited from Dr. 
Pollack's commitment to excellence.
  Education was not simply a job to Ron Pollack, it was an avocation, 
He richly deserves all the best in retirement. He has been a good 
friend for many years and I ask that my colleagues join me in offering 
heartfelt congratuations and a sincere thank you for a job well done.
