 TRIBUTE TO DON MacCULLOUGH, ``MR. EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTING'' IN SOUTH 
                                FLORIDA

                                 ______


                          HON. CARRIE P. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 19, 1995

  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a 
true pioneer in public television, Mr. Don MacCullough, who will be 
retiring in a few weeks after over 30 years with WLRN-TV in Miami--the 
past 22 years as general manager.
  Throughout his career, Don MacCullough exemplified all that is right 
with educational television. A tireless worker, his determination 
helped keep WLRN based in Miami when others wanted to move it 
elsewhere. His dedication and skill helped the station grow in prestige 
over the years. His creativity and willingness to try new approaches 
brought in legions of new, loyal viewers, and helped make WLRN the 
community institution that it is today. Finally, the reputation he 
built over the years made him a leader in the industry. When Don 
MacCullough speaks, people listen.
  It is difficult to think of public television in south Florida 
without Don MacCullough. However, the legacy he created will continue 
to enrich the lives of public television viewers for years to come.
  I know that my colleagues join me in congratulating Don MacCullough 
on a remarkable career and thanking him for a job well done. We wish 
you every success in your future endeavors.
