                        Thursday, March 15, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dr. Robert Fryzek of Glenwood, Iowa on his retirement as a 
practicing physician. Dr. Fryzek has served the Glenwood area for the 
past 54 years, practicing general family medicine and received the 
respect, trust, and loyalty of his patients who called him ``a working 
man's doctor.''
  Dr. Fryzek graduated from Central High School in Omaha, Nebraska in 
1952. He received his bachelor's degree from Creighton University in 
Omaha and earned his medical degree from the University of Nebraska in 
1960. Dr. Fryzek served his internship at Wesley Hospital in Wichita, 
Kansas and spent two years at the Western Shoshone Duck Valley Indian 
Reservation in Owee, Nevada before moving to Glenwood, Iowa in 1963 to 
start his local practice. Dr. Fryzek offered weekend hours, treated 
patients at the local nursing home on his days off, served as the 
County Medical Examiner, and volunteered as the team doctor for 
Glenwood High School. He is a one-of-a-kind doctor who went above and 
beyond for his patients and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate Dr. Fryzek on his retirement 
and thank him for his many years of dedicated and devoted service to 
the citizens of Glenwood. I am proud to represent him in the United 
States Congress and I ask that my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives join me in congratulating him for his many 
accomplishments and in wishing him and his family nothing but the best.
