     TRIBUTE TO DR. D.H. MCDONALD--45 YEARS AS COMMUNITY PHYSICIAN

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding career of Dr. D.H. McDonald, who is retiring after 45 years 
of dedicated service to the health of the people of Winneconne, 
Wisconsin.
  As a young boy growing up during the Great Depression, Dr. McDonald 
always dreamed of one day being able to take care of others. He took 
great pride in his father's hard work and accomplishments, and 
cherished the educational opportunities available to him. His desire to 
help people, hard work ethic and determination to do his best led Dr. 
McDonald to serve in the medical corps of the U.S. Army Air Force 
Command as a hospital administrator during World War II.
  During his time at Marquette University Medical School, Dr. McDonald 
took advantage of every opportunity he had, not only to learn about 
diverse areas of the medical field, but also to volunteer in the 
community. He worked at St. Mary Hill Psychiatric Hospital in Milwaukee 
and volunteered in the disadvantaged areas of Chicago where he made 
home deliveries of babies under the supervision of specialists.
  In 1952 Dr. McDonald established the McDonald Clinic. In an effort to 
accommodate the needs of the patients, Dr. McDonald used his clinic as 
a 24 hour, seven days a week walk-in clinic.
  Mr. President, Dr. McDonald has remained extremely close to the 
Winneconne community for over 45 years. Throughout the years, he has 
contributed to many of the events that have taken place within the 
community and will always be remembered for his commitment to the 
health and well-being of the people of Winneconne, Wisconsin.
  As he retires from the practice of medicine to the community which he 
has spent most of his life serving, we wish him the best of luck and 
thank him for his service.
