                PAYING TRIBUTE TO DR. ROBERT L. CAMPBELL

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life and 
memory of the late Dr. Robert L. Campbell. His achievements and 
accomplishments in Colorado City, Colorado have assisted in bettering 
the community and its surrounding areas. Dr. Campbell was known as the 
``typical'' country doctor, and served as the only physician in the 
Colorado City area. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure we honor 
today Dr. Robert Campbell, and remember the joy and compassionate 
inspiration he provided.
  Dr. Campbell, known as Robert, was born on November 29, 1933 in Des 
Moines, Iowa. He spent his entire childhood in Iowa, and attained his 
Bachelors degree at the University of Iowa. In 1961, Robert moved to 
Englewood, Colorado, and while practicing medicine, assisted in 
reorganizing the current Community Health Center for Retarded and 
Handicapped Children and Adults. As an active member in the Englewood 
Chamber of Commerce, Public Relations Committee, and Selective Service 
Board, Robert succeeded as being a phenomenal role model and beacon to 
his friends, family, and the City of Englewood.
  Robert's ascent to success was accompanied by his loving wife, 
Evelyn, and his children, Debbie, Parn, Julie, Robert, and Joan. He 
also leaves behind two grandchildren Robin and Aaron. Many knew Robert 
as a caring father and wonderful husband. He worked hard, and took 
great pride in the accomplishments of his children and wife. Robert 
himself was a modest individual, very humble, and never one to seek the 
rewards of his labor. For numerous years, Robert was the only doctor in 
his area, and provided countless house calls to the many residents of 
Colorado City, Colorado. He was the only physician assigned to the 
Pueblo City Jail, where he administered treatment and medicine to many 
incarcerated individuals. Truly, such a person of great integrity and 
respect deserves a word or praise, for without his efforts; many 
residents would have been without healthcare.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with a sincere heart I honor the life of Dr. 
Robert Campbell. He was an extraordinary person who donated 100% of his 
knowledge and talents to anyone in need. Although we mourn the loss of 
Robert, we celebrate the many years of joy and care he provided to 
everyone he touched. I extend my deepest sympathy to Robert's family 
and friends during their time of grieving.
