   TRIBUTE TO DR. E. CREDE HIESTAND ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 14, 1995

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding citizen and good friend, Dr. E. Crede Hiestand. Dr. 
Hiestand, of my hometown of Old Fort, OH, is retiring after many 
dedicated years of service to this community.
  Crede grew up in Old Fort and attended school there. After he 
completed medical school, he came back to Old Fort to set up his 
practice. Over the years, he has gone beyond the tasks expected of him, 
successfully striving for the highest level of excellence and 
professionalism. His reputation is that of a caring, thoughtful, and 
intelligent friend to all who know him.
  Although his shoes will be difficult to fill, Dr. Hiestand can retire 
with the satisfaction of knowing that his career will stand as a 
hallmark for others to emulate. In fact, his three sons, Daniel, 
Joseph, and Mathew, have all received their medical degrees.
  Mr. Speaker, Crede Hiestand's distinguished career is a model of 
citizenship. I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing Crede, his wife, 
Dorothiann, and their family well as the Hiestands begin this new 
chapter in their lives.
