                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 30, 2008

  Mr. BERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a great 
Arkansan and a fine citizen of Marshall, Arkansas. I am proud to 
recognize Dr. Charles Daniel in the United States Congress for his four 
decades of service to Arkansas. He has made numerous invaluable 
contributions to his community, his State and our Nation.
  Dr. Charles Daniel was born in Marshall, Arkansas on July 1, 1940 and 
currently resides there today. After graduating from Marshall High 
School in 1958 as valedictorian, he received his medical degree from 
the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 1967. He married his 
wife Sharon Guthrie in 1964 and they have two children.
  In addition to his decades of service to the community as a leading 
medical professional, Dr. Daniel has dedicated 40 years of service to 
both the Rotary Club and the Searcy County Economic Development 
Commission. He was a leading advocate for the construction of the 
Searcy County Civic Center and was recognized by the Searcy County 
Economic Development Commission as Citizen of the Year in 2007.
  Dr. Daniel is one of the few remaining genuine, southern gentlemen. 
He is a humble man who goes out of his way to help others simply 
because it is the right thing to do, never for personal gain. Dr. 
Daniel's office was always open to people in need of medical attention. 
Often he would keep his doors open well into the evening and would 
visit with patients at their homes on weekends to ensure they received 
the care they needed. Not only does he epitomize what a family doctor 
should be, he is the living example of how we should treat our 
neighbor.
  Dr. Daniel embodies the old fashioned values of service, leadership 
and commitment to his community that has made our State and our Nation 
great. He has dedicated his life to serving the people of Searcy County 
as a leader in both his profession and his community. On behalf of the 
United States Congress, I extend congratulations and best wishes to my 
good friend Dr. Charles Daniel for a lifetime of outstanding personal 
and professional achievements.
