                 TRIBUTE TO HUBERT ``DUDER'' DUDERSTADT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARION BERRY

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 1998

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Hubert 
``Duder'' Duderstadt.
  Duder was a child immigrant from Germany. He came to this country 
with almost nothing and was a classic example of the success immigrants 
represent to this nation and what they have added to the culture we all 
enjoy today.
  Duder was an example of what hard work and clean living will do.
  Married to the same woman, Alberta, for 56 years, raising three 
successful children and achieving ownership of his own farm were 
measures of such success.
  He clearly fulfilled the Will Rogers comment ``I never met a man I 
didn't like,'' and it was always a pleasure to run into Duder. He was 
an accomplished farmer and wine maker and greatly appreciated by the 
community.
  Always ready to do his part for the community, civic club, school, 
church, or profession, he never failed to pitch in.
  He demonstrated by example what it means to be a Christian, good 
citizen, successful farmer, husband, and father.
  He will be remembered, as we say in Gillett, Arkansas, as ``a good 
man.''
