                       TRIBUTE TO DONALD O. BROOK

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 24, 1995
  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Donald O. 
Brook who is being honored this evening by the Clinton Township 
Goodfellows. He is being named as a Goodfellow of the Year at a 
recognition dinner at the Fern Hill Country Club in Clinton Township, 
MI.
  Donald Brook is currently Deputy Chief of Police in the Clinton 
Township Police Department. During his 26 years of service he has 
served the people of Clinton Township faithfully in his role as a 
police officer. During this time, Deputy Chief Brook managed to earn 
four college degrees, including a doctorate from Wayne State University 
in Administration and Supervision.
  In addition to applying his academic knowledge in his profession as a 
police officer, Chief Deputy Brook teaches at Macomb Community College 
and Central Michigan University. As an adjunct faculty member of both 
institutions, he teaches students in the areas of criminal justice and 
management and supervision.
  Taking an active role in one's community is a responsibility we all 
share, but few fulfill. Donald Brook has dedicated much of his life to 
this endeavor. His time, talents, and energy are appreciated by many. I 
thank Donald Brook for his efforts and commend him for his good work.
  I applaud the Clinton Township Goodfellows for recognizing Chief 
Deputy Donald Brook. For 25 years, nearly as long as he has been an 
officer of the law, Donald Brook has also served the community-at-large 
as a Goodfellow. He has provided outstanding leadership to the 
community of Clinton Township and I am sure he is proud to be honored 
by the Goodfellows.
  The devotion the Goodfellows and Chief Deputy Brook have displayed to 
their community is an inspection. Their contributions are many and they 
deserve our gratitude for their compassion and work.
  On behalf of the Clinton Township Goodfellows, I urge my colleagues 
to join me in saluting Doctor and Chief Deputy Donald Brook.
