                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2002

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Dr. Robert Dunn, a physician of 
Cumming Georgia is best described by his peers as humble. They have a 
deep respect for his skill and commitment as a physician and roll model 
for other physicians.
  Dr. Dunn, joined by his family, his wife Norma, their children, 
Charlene McGill, Bill, Rick and Roger Dunn, along with his peers, was 
honored last month by Baptist Medical Center. In his honor they 
redecorated two rooms in the main emergency room as ``kid friendly.''
  Dr. Dunn graduated from Emory University in 1947, and with three 
fellow physicians started a family practice in Forsyth County, helping 
meet the medical needs of the entire community. At 76 years of age, he 
continues to practice medicine, as well as attending conferences and 
continuing education to stay current with his skills.
  Dr. Dunn's dedication to the community has continued for over 50 
years. Among his many contributions, he donated his time and practice 
to providing free physicals for local boy scouts, and he donated land 
for the preservation of Sawnee Mountain. He led his Christian ministry 
to Zaire for missionary work and served his grateful nation in Korea.
  I would like to join in acknowledging Dr. Robert Dunn for his ongoing 
commitment and dedication to the community.
