                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2001

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lt. Colonel Hugh 
Pentland Dunn's 100th Birthday. Mr. Dunn was born in New York City on 
April 24, 1901. He is a veteran of three wars: World War I, World War 
II, and the Korean War.
  Hugh Dunn lives in Santa Rosa, CA, with his wife Patricia. He has a 
humor and brightness that shines with every story he tells. People who 
visit Hugh Dunn find him refreshing and entering to be around. We are 
all enriched by his first-hand memories of the early 1900's.
  At age 17, he lied about his age to join the Canadian Army's 
Expeditionary Force and entered World War I. After the war, he attended 
college at Columbia University in New York City and joined the ROTC as 
an officer. Eventually he transferred to City College because of 
protests at Columbia against the ROTC. Mr. Dunn served in World War II 
in the Korean conflict, ending his career in Germany in the Army of 
Occupation.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent such a dedicated and 
knowledgeable veteran. Please join me in celebrating his 100th 
birthday.
