                       TRIBUTE TO DR. BILL LaHUE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2008

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, let me take this means to recognize the 
long and selfless career of Dr. Bill LaHue of Lexington, Missouri. Dr. 
LaHue has spent over 35 years as a dedicated general practitioner in 
the field of medicine.
  Dr. LaHue received his BA and MD Degrees from the University of 
Missouri before completing his internship at Kansas City General 
Hospital and his residency at Tampa (FL) General Hospital and St. 
Luke's Hospital in Kansas City. He began his practice in general 
surgery in Lexington, Missouri, in 1972, and has served the needs of 
his community and the surrounding area since that time.
  Dr. LaHue was recently named Presiding Chief of the Tribe of Mic-O-
Say, an honorary Boy Scout Organization of the Heart of America 
Council, which serves over 45,000 youth. This honor is the highest 
recognition within the Scouting Organization. This prestigious award 
comes with the responsibilities of conducting council meetings and 
presiding over council ceremonies for the course of one year, after 
which Dr. LaHue will remain a chief, but no longer the presiding 
officer.
  Dr. Bill LaHue continues to practice medicine in Lexington and 
remains an active member of his church and community. I trust that the 
Members of the House will join me in thanking Dr. LaHue for his 
devotion to the youth of our Nation.
