 LEE DAVIS INDUCTION TO WISCONSIN BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. THOMAS E. PETRI

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2001

  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, for a quarter of a century, Manitowoc, 
Wisconsin, has been served by one of our nation's great local 
broadcasters.
  Lee Davis began his radio career in 1954 as a disc jockey and program 
manager in Philadelphia. Before coming to Manitowoc in 1975, he was 
general manager of WMAQ-AM and FM in Chicago as well as national 
program manager for Rollins, Inc., where he was responsible for seven 
stations around the country.
  Now, as owner and general manager of WCUB and WLTU, Lee Davis gives 
us big city professionalism along with small town friendliness and 
involvement. Listeners in the Manitowoc area are well served by Lee's 
stewardship of WCUB's Breakfast Club, where he brings the community 
together through his insightful interviews and conversation, and where 
he provides local radio broadcasting as it should be--by and for the 
people who actually live in the community.
  I recently learned that Lee Davis has been chosen for induction into 
the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. He richly deserves 
it, and I want to join the people of Manitowoc in extending our 
congratulations.
