                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in congratulating the Beagle family as they are honored by the 
Genesee County Bar Foundation on October 7 in Flint, Michigan.
  The Beagle family's contributions to the Flint community span the 
past century. Charles D. Beagle graduated from Minnesota Law School in 
1904. After practicing law in the State of Washington, he moved to 
Genesee County in 1920. He was elected Genesee County Prosecutor in 
1928. He served as president of the Genesee County Bar Association in 
1937-1938. When he passed away in 1958, Charles Beagle had practiced 
law for 54 years.
  His son, John S. Beagle, received his law degree from Washington and 
Lee University in 1936. He served as a Genesee County Assistant 
Prosecuting Attorney and a Michigan Assistant Attorney General. He 
enlisted in the Army at the beginning of World War II and served in the 
Navy Air Corps until his discharge. He joined his father and Van H. 
Stewart and formed the law firm, Beagle, Stewart and Beagle. He served 
on the governing body of the local bar. He retired in 1986 after 50 
years of practicing law and passed away in 2000. The John S. Beagle 
Scholarship was established through his bequest to help Genesee County 
law students defray the cost of their schooling.
  Duncan M. Beagle has carried on the tradition started by his 
grandfather and father. He received his Juris Doctor degree from the 
University of Detroit Mercy in 1975. He served as the youngest 
president of the Genesee County Bar Association in 1983-1984. He has 
served as the court administrator for 67th District Court, assistant 
prosecutor for Genesee County, Friend of the Court referee, and as a 
private practitioner. Appointed to the 7th Judicial Circuit Court in 
1991, he continues to serve in this capacity.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to extend my congratulations to Judge 
Beagle and the Beagle family as they are honored by the Genesee County 
Bar Foundation. The Beagle family represents the best traditions of 
service to community, their clients and the legal profession and I wish 
them the best in their future endeavors.
