                   REMEMBERING DONALD OVERTON NEAGLE

 Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, I rise to honor the passing of a 
great Kentuckian, Donald Overton Neagle. He passed away on February 20, 
2024, at the age of 86.
  Don was born on November 3, 1937, in Green County, KY. While Don 
accomplished many things in his life, it was his 65-year career in 
radio that made him a well-known name across South

Central Kentucky. His storied career brought him to radio stations 
across the Commonwealth, from Greensburg to Harrodsburg, and Bowling 
Green, before settling in Russellville in 1958 with WRUS Radio Station. 
During his six decades with WRUS, he became part owner of the station 
and hosted and directed multiple programs.
  He was best known for his program ``Feedback,'' where he interviewed 
politicians, listeners of the show, and other notable figures. I had 
the privilege of being regularly interviewed on his show and always 
enjoyed the chance to speak with him and his audience. My wife Kelley 
is a Russellville native and grew up listening to Don's shows. He has 
been a household name for both the Pauls and the Ashbys, and he will be 
greatly missed.
  While we share in the sadness of his passing, it is with great joy we 
look back at his life, his many accomplishments, and the positive 
impact he had on his community and Kentuckians across the Commonwealth. 
We honor Don and his family, and may he rest in peace.
