                        Tuesday, October 9, 2007

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, let me take this moment to recognize the 
career of Dr. Jake Lippert. Dr. Lippert has served as the Executive 
Director for the Missouri Dental Association since 1998, who now ends 
his tenure.
  Dr. Lippert earned an undergraduate degree from St. Louis University 
before completing its Dental School program in 1959. He then honorably 
served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy until 1961. Dr. Lippert has 
been a member of the American Dental Association since 1959 and a 
member of the Missouri Dental Association since 1961. During his 
career, Dr. Lippert has been awarded numerous professional honors, 
including being named the Missouri Dental Association's Dentist of the 
Year in 1998.
  Beyond his private practice, Jake Lippert has been extremely involved 
in his community. He has served as an Instructor for East Central 
College, the President of the Union School Board, an assistant scout 
master for a local Boy Scout troop, and a certified high school 
football referee. Dr. Lippert is highly regarded for his generosity and 
hard work.
  As Executive Director of the Missouri Dental Association, Dr. Lippert 
was instrumental in increasing legislative involvement, creating 
additional continuing education programs, and shaping a vision for the 
future of the organization. I'm certain that Members of the House will 
join me in thanking Jake Lippert for his exceptional leadership and 
dedication.
