                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 9, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to announce the dedication 
of Dr. Pillow Park in North Richland Hills, Texas.
  This newly refurbished park is named in recognition of Dr. David 
Pillow who served the city of North Richland Hills and much of north 
Texas since founding the Pillow-Rush Medical and Surgical Clinic in 
1955. As the success of his business grew over the years, additions 
doubled the size of the hospital. Dr. Pillow also serves as the Medical 
Director for UT Southwestern University Hospital's Chest Pain Center.
  Dr. David Pillow was also the chairman of the board of trustees in 
1983, when the North Hills Hospital had its dedication ceremony. On 
August 28, 2006, the Naming Board of the city of North Richland Hills 
unanimously approved a resolution for Little Bear Creek Neighborhood 
Park to officially be named ``Dr. Pillow Park.''
  The new Dr. Pillow Park is a 6.5 acre neighborhood park and has a 
Texas Mission theme. Included are a hike and bike trail, a covered 
picnic area, and a playground. I would like to express my best wishes 
to the Pillow family and the entire North Richland Hills Community on 
this special occasion. It is an honor to represent a fellow physician 
in Congress.
