                                 ______
                                 

                     REMEMBERING DR. FRED MARGOLIN

 Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, today I ask my colleagues to join 
me in honoring the memory of Dr. Frederick Margolin, my former neighbor 
in Greenbrae, CA. After a 3-year battle with ALS, Fred passed away 
peacefully on May 10, 2012, surrounded by his beloved family.
  Fred Margolin was born in New York in 1936 and raised in Florida. 
After graduating from the University of Miami Medical School in 1960, 
he interned at Los Angeles County Hospital and served for 2 years as an 
Air Force medical officer in Germany, before returning to California, 
where he lived for the rest of his life.
  Following his residency at the University of California, San 
Francisco, Dr. Margolin practiced radiology at California Pacific 
Medical Center from 1968 to 2007 and served as chairman of the 
Department of Radiology from 1978 to 1992. He was the founder of the 
Breast Health Center and served as its medical director from 1984 to 
2007. Widely recognized as a national leader in radiology and breast 
cancer screening, he was honored as a fellow of the American College of 
Radiology and the Society of Breast Imagining. In 2001, he was selected 
as one of America's Best Doctors for Breast Care.
  Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Margolin worked not only to 
provide the best possible care to his patients but to extend access to 
care to poor women and underserved populations.
  Fred was a devoted family man who adored Myrna, his wife of 54 years. 
Together they traveled the world, often on cruises with close friends, 
and each year they took their children and grandchildren to Mexico for 
a family vacation.
  Dr. Fred Margolin will be deeply missed by his patients, colleagues, 
family, and friends. On behalf of the people of California and the 
patients and communities he served so well, I send my gratitude and 
condolences to Fred's wife Myrna; their children, Jody Margolin Hahn, 
Elizabeth Brett Garon, and Lawrence Harry Margolin; and their seven 
grandsons.
