        RETIREMENT OF A. REID LEOPOLD, JR., MD, OF LEWISTOWN, PA

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, today I would like to recognize 
A. Reid Leopold, Jr., MD, an accomplished physician from the great 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who will be retiring on June 30, 2001. Dr. 
Leopold has dedicated his entire professional life to improving the 
health and well-being of others in our communities.

[[Page S4507]]

  Dr. Leopold was born October 7, 1931 in Lewistown, PA. A graduate of 
Lewistown High School, he studied for four years at Bucknell University 
in Lewisburg, PA before moving on to study medicine at Pittsburgh 
Medical School. In addition to practicing medicine for 43 years, Dr. 
Leopold served his country in the United States Navy for two years and 
served as Mifflin County Coroner from 1964 to 1996.
  A member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Lewistown, Dr. Leopold is 
married to the former Karen Doyle, and has two daughters, three sons, 
two step-daughters and eight grandchildren. Also a sports enthusiast, 
Dr. Leopold can often be found spending his free time boating and 
fishing in Lake Raystown.
  Dr. Leopold has been an outstanding member of the Lewistown 
community, and has provided his friends and neighbors with quality 
healthcare for many, many years. I congratulate him on his retirement 
and hope that he is blessed with many years of relaxation and enjoyment 
with friends and family.
  I ask my Senate colleagues to join with me in recognizing the 
contributions that Dr. Leopold has made to the medical profession and 
to improving the lives of others. May his retirement be filled with 
health, happiness and memorable times with family and friends for many 
years to come.
