                     REMEMBERING DR. GLENN BLODGETT

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember 
the life and the legacy of Dr. Glenn Blodgett, known to most as Doc 
Blodgett. Doc Blodgett passed away at the age of 73 on November 21, 
surrounded by loved ones.
  Doc Blodgett spent more than 40 years managing the horse division at 
the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. Blodgett led the ranch's team of 
veterinary staff. He oversaw all veterinary practices and reproductive 
services, including horse breeding. Nearly 1,500 mares were bred from 
the ranch each year.
  Outside of his work at the Four Sixes Ranch, Doc served on the board 
of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and in 2019 was 
inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
  Earlier this year, I had the great privilege of traveling to the Four 
Sixes Ranch and interacting with Doc Blodgett and the legendary horse 
program at the ranch. One thing was clear during the visit, Doc 
Blodgett was incredibly passionate about his work. He was a master of 
his practice and someone who left an irreplaceable mark on the equine 
industry.
  Doc Blodgett is survived by his loving wife of more than 50 years, 
Karen Wright, his two daughters, four granddaughters, and one grandson.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in keeping Karen, the Blodgett family, 
and Doc Blodgett's friends in your prayers.
