                    HONORING DR. FRANK P. LLOYD SR.

 Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, today I honor the life of a fellow 
Hoosier, physician, civic leader and distinguished businessman, Dr. 
Frank P. Lloyd Sr., who passed away on August 27, 2002.
  As those who knew Dr. Lloyd would attest, his strong commitment to 
the city of Indianapolis was reflected in his successful and 
distinguished career. Mr. Sam H. Jones, president of the Indianapolis 
Urban League referred to him as ``a giant among men, not just African-
American men, but a giant among men, period.'' State Representative 
William Crawford called Dr. Lloyd ``a Renaissance Man who always 
provided an inspirational voice.'' And U.S. Congresswoman Julia Carson, 
who knew Dr. Lloyd for nearly 40 years, referred to her dear friend as 
``a man who went around doing so many beautiful and positive things in 
such a quiet way.''
  Dr. Lloyd worked for Methodist Hospital for 25 years, beginning as 
director of medical research and retiring as president. During his time 
at Methodist, the hospital became the first non-university hospital in 
the Nation to offer heart transplants and one of the very few to be 
approved for Jarvik-7 artificial heart implantation. He taught at 
Indiana University, Purdue University, and Howard University in 
Washington, D.C., where he authored several medical textbooks.
  Without question, Dr. Lloyd was and will always be regarded as one of 
Indianapolis's most influential and dedicated civic leaders. He was the 
catalyst in various accomplishments, such as the creation of the White 
River State Park, the Indiana Sports Corporation and the Indianapolis 
Circle City Classic. His ability to build bridges between corporate 
America and the community were without equal.
  Dr. Lloyd founded the former Midwest National Bank, where he was the 
Chairman of the Board and CEO. He was also the Chairman of the Midwest 
National Corporation and majority owner for a time of a local 
Indianapolis radio station, WTLC-FM.
  In addition to his corporate success, Dr. Lloyd served on the boards 
of various civic and charitable organizations, including the Center for 
Legislative Improvement, Indiana Bell Telephone Co., Goodwill 
Industries Foundation of Central Indiana, Inc., United Way of Greater 
Indianapolis, CTS and the Urban League of Indianapolis.
  Dr. Lloyd is survived by his children, Shelley Lloyd Hankinson, Dr. 
Frank P. Lloyd Jr., Dr. Riley P. Lloyd, and Karen Ann Lloyd Jenkins; a 
sister, Annie Jackson; and seven grandchildren. Dr. Frank P. Lloyd was 
a true leader and humanitarian that the city of Indianapolis, the State 
or Indiana, and the Nation will miss tremendously.
  I commend the late Dr. Frank P. Lloyd Sr. for his lifelong service to 
our Nation.
