                        Thursday, March 17, 2005

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Dr. 
James W. Lane.
  Last month, he lost his battle to a long-term illness. Dr. Lane was a 
Charleston urologist, former U.S. Army captain, and civic leader.
  As Chief of Staff of the Charleston Memorial Hospital, he eased a 
hospital merger that resulted in the creation of Charleston Area 
Medical Center, which is the premier medical facility in the Kanawha 
Valley.
  Dr. Lane was also a teacher of his trade. As the chairman of the 
Department of Urology at CAMC and a clinical professor of urology at 
the Charleston Division of the West Virginia University School of 
Medicine he trained hundreds of young doctors.
  Dr. Lane was a member of several local service and community 
organizations including the Kanawha Medical Society, the Mid-Atlantic 
section of the American Urology Association, and the West Virginia 
Health Right, where he was named volunteer of the year in 2002.
  Dr. Lane was instrumental in improving the availability of health 
care in West Virginia. His legacy of humility and compassion for others 
was attributed to how he lived every day of his life.
  Dr. Lane was a pillar of the community and his memory will resonate 
in the minds of those fortunate enough to have known him and his 
countless accomplishments.
