                      TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM L. CULVER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 30, 1998

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize a fellow 
Missourian, Mr. William L. Culver, for his contributions to culture and 
history. In February 1998, Bill Culver participated in a C-SPAN contest 
that outlined the travels of Alexis de Tocqueville. He captured in art 
the essence of Tocqueville's travels in search of American democracy 
and was recognized as a top 10 national prize winner. He is an avid C-
SPAN watcher and has faithfully shared his caricatures with this 
organization.
  Bill Culver has been interested in art since he was a small child. He 
grew up in Northwest Missouri, attended the University of Missouri Law 
School, and successfully practiced law for many years. Bill now spends 
time doing what he enjoys most--writing and illustrating children's 
books. Also, he teaches part time at Columbia College at the Lake of 
the Ozarks.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Bill 
Culver on this award and wish him good luck as he continues to 
illustrate art and developing legacies for future generations to enjoy.
