                       HONORING MAJOR W. WHEELOCK

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to a man that has dedicated the last 7 years of his life to 
helping those less fortunate than himself, Major W. Wheelock.
  Among his many accomplishments, Major Wheelock has most recently 
served as the President/CEO of Crotched Mountain foundation in 
Greenfield, New Hampshire and has previously served as Executive Vice 
President/Treasurer of Franklin Pierce College. Major Wheelock retired 
in June of this year. As part of his tireless service to others, Major 
participates in the River Mead Retirement Community as a board member; 
the Yankee Publishing, Inc. as a board member; New Hampshire 2002 
Health and Educational Facilities Authority as Board Vice Chair; and 
New Hampshire Hospital Association as a Board Vice Chair.
  The service Major Wheelock has provided Crotched Mountain School was 
doubtless a devotion to those that receive an education there. Crotched 
Mountain School provides outstanding rehabilitative programs for 
students with disabilities in Kindergarten through twelfth grade. His 
duty and service are apparent through his love and devotion for the 
students at Crotched Mountain.
  More than doing an exceptional job, Major Wheelock is to be commended 
for his service to such a worthy organization. A man of better 
character, I rarely meet. It is an honor and privilege representing 
Major Wheelock in the U.S. Senate.
