                             JOSEF GINGOLD

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the late 
violinist Josef Gingold and his family.
  Mr. Gingold was a world-renowned violinist and a music professor at 
Indiana University who selflessly devoted his life to teaching music. 
His distinguished career in the musical arts and his devotion to 
teaching serves as an example of a life of tireless dedication. His 
legacy continues; many of his students have gone on to careers as 
conductors, musicians, and teachers in major symphonies and schools 
throughout the world. He also built the program at Indiana University's 
School of Music to become recognized internationally as one of the most 
respected curriculums for the world's next generation of violinists.
  The Gingold family is a model of strong morals and family values in 
their cohesiveness and unity in crisis. Despite having encountered 
struggles since Mr. Gingold's passing, they have shown dignity and 
perseverence in coming together to grieve and to console one another.
  Mr. Gingold's son and daughter-in-law, George and Anne Gingold, who 
are residents of the State of Connecticut, have graciously donated a 
collection of Mr. Gingold's books, music, letters, pictures, 
competition notes, and other materials to be available to teachers, 
musicians, and historians at the Library of Congress.
  Josef Gingold lived a life that should be an example to all of us. He 
loved and provided for his family while as a professor of music at 
Indiana University. He will long be remembered as a man who touched 
many and helped countless others through his dedication and devotion to 
music and his passion for teaching.
