  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize and 
acknowledge Dr. John Ingle for his tremendous contributions to 
healthcare and endodontics.
  Dr. John Ingle was a pioneer in endodontics dentistry. He attended 
Northwestern University Dental School then continued on to earn two 
graduate degrees in endodontics and periodontics from the University of 
Michigan School of Dentistry in 1948. Dr. Ingle is also one of the many 
military heroes that served valiantly in World War II as part of the 
U.S. Army Air Force. Dr. Ingle initiated the graduate endodontics 
program at the University of Washington in 1959 and served as chairman 
of the combined Department of Periodontics and Endodontics, one of only 
five such programs in the world at that time. He then moved to the 
University of Southern California where he served as dean and professor 
of the USC School of Dentistry for 8 years. After leaving USC, Dr. 
Ingle joined the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of 
Sciences here in Washington, DC. Later he became president of Palm 
Springs Seminars in California, a leading institution of dental 
continuing education.
  The landmark book Endodontics was penned by Dr. Ingle. Published in 
1965, it is now on its sixth edition. Dr. Ingle was a founding member 
of the American Board of Endodontics and the past president of the 
American Association of Endodontics.
  Dr. Ingle gave much of his life to the study and expansion of dental 
practices and exploration into endodontics and periodontics. His care 
extended past his patients to new generations of dentists, clinicians, 
teachers and researchers that continue to give to the field he loved so 
much.
  The American Association of Endodontists and I are proud to honor Dr. 
Ingle for his great contributions to dentistry and endodontics. As a 
fellow dentist, I am personally thankful for the dedication of Dr. 
Ingle to expand modern dentistry and empowering so many others to serve 
more effectively in the same craft.
