                      TRIBUTE TO MR. STUART FROHM

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 30, 2009

  Mr. CAMP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend Mr. Stuart 
Frohm, a prolific political journalist, columnist, and editor.
  Stu will retire today, September 30, 2009, after 30 years with the 
Midland Daily News, my hometown newspaper. He was the political writer 
and wire editor for state, national, and world stories and photos.
  Stu was a true newspaper man, a balanced mix of watchdog and champion 
for the Midland area community. He was a tireless and dedicated 
reporter and editor who fully understood politics. He was thorough and 
he was fair, even when critical. Most importantly, he informed readers 
and helped bring us together, even through the toughest decisions, the 
way only a professional journalist can.
  I have shared many experiences with Stu. After each election, Stu and 
I talked. After State of the Unions, major votes, and important moments 
in our political history, Stu and I would talk on the phone. In fact, I 
vividly remember that it was Stu on the phone with me as the events of 
9/11/2001 unfolded in Washington, D.C., and we were still talking as 
the Capitol Police told us to run out of the Cannon House Office 
Building.
  Stu is much more than a reporter, much more than a columnist, and 
much more than an editor. He is a dedicated husband, beloved father and 
cherished community leader. It is an honor to consider him a friend, 
and I say that ``on the record.''
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. Stuart Frohm, a 
journalist, editor, and friend, and wishing him the best of luck in his 
retirement.
