                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 10, 1998

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding gentleman who for many years has served the people of my 
district in the field of dentistry, Dr. Walter F. Lamacki, DDS.
  Dr. Lamacki has been practicing dentistry for 35 years, and 24 years 
have been spent in the town of Burbank, Illinois. However, on March 1, 
1998, Dr. Lamacki retired, and his practice will undoubtedly be missed 
by many people.
  Before entering general practice, Dr. Lamacki attended the University 
of Illinois and Loyola University and served in the United States Army 
Dental Corp. Over the years, Dr. Lamacki has held numerous positions in 
the Chicago Dental Society, including the position of President. He has 
served on several committees of the Illinois State Dental Society and 
the American Dental Association. Dr. Lamacki also has served on the 
Board of Governors of Loyola Alumni Dental School and as President of 
the Loyola Alumni Association.
  Dr. Lamacki is a respected member of the Chicago dental community. 
More importantly, he is a respected member of his community,

both for the service he has given in dentistry and his commitment to 
civic concerns. He has taken on responsibilities as the President of 
the Burbank Chapter of the American Cancer Society, as a member of the 
Burbank Chamber of Commerce, and as a Member of the Palos Gardens Civic 
Association.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to applaud Dr. Lamacki on behalf of the 
many people he has treated and befriended in his years of practicing 
dentistry. I would like to extend my very best wishes for continued 
success and happiness in retirement and in the years to come.
