                      REMEMBERING GARY DiGIUSEPPE

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to acknowledge the 
life of Gary John DiGiuseppe whose passion for agriculture and 
journalism helped keep Arkansans informed about the State's No. 1 
industry.
  Gary was a man who knew the importance of dedication and hard work. 
He was fiercely dedicated to his family and his life's work. He was a 
man who possessed a broad base of invaluable knowledge that he shared 
eagerly through his radio shows and literature. He worked as an 
agricultural reporter for 35 years. To others in his field, he was 
known as a true professional of agriculture.
  Many knew Gary as the man who started their mornings off with a 
friendly voice. He was an accomplished talk show host and writer. He 
was known for doing an excellent job reporting on conferences and 
interviews. There are few who do not trust his educated opinion. His 
writing has also been published in the ``Arkansas Money & Politics'' 
magazine.
  Gary was often referred to as an asset, trustworthy, and well 
informed. In addition, he was well versed in other aspects of life. He 
was an accomplished musician and stood firm on his important principles 
through determined discipline.
  Gary always represented situations clearly and fair in his reporting. 
I was happy to talk with him about the agricultural topics that he was 
researching and reporting on.
  He maintained a passion for learning and teaching all aspects of 
agriculture.
  I am remembering Gary today as a true friend of Arkansas agriculture. 
My thoughts and prayers go out to Gary's wife, Mary, and his entire 
family. I humbly offer my gratitude and appreciation for one of 
Arkansas' finest agriculture advocates.
