Today McConnell has returned to the McHenry County board, where he was a member for fourteen years before he was elected to his first term as a member of the Illinois House of Represen­ tatives in 1952. In recalling his career at Springfield, McConnell listed what he believes were achievements he was able to accomplish. Among them: 1. Originator and sponsor of a bill to build a clinic to add to the School of Veterinary Medicine in the late 1950 s and 1960's. Though the budget committee had turned it down, McConnell somehow learned funds could be obtained from the tax on race track gambling. This clinic was built at no cost to taxpayers for $585,000, per­ mitting the original school to be utilized to its fullest extent. Construction permitted a class of 40, up from the previous 24. 2. Chief sponsor of the Veterinary Medical practice act which became law in 1961 3. Originator and chief sponsor of the law which required all new motor vehicles to have turn signals. 4 Member and a strong spokesman of a special com­ m i t t e e w h i c h d r a f t e d t h e Brucellosis law in the early 1960's, a law which helped stamp out that disease As a dairy farmer in his first several years of farming, he knew the importance of being able to eliminate undulant fever in man and to prevent the threat of a severe financial loss to farmers. 5. Chief sponsor of a bill tp construct locks at the McHenry dam. This opened up more than 20 miles of the Fox river to the Chain of Lakes for navigation. 6. Chief sponsor in the House of the bills which changed Northern Illinois college to Northern Illinois university. This enabled that university to broaden its curriculum so it could provide much greater service to citizens in Northern Illinois - main source of students at the DeKalb campus. 7. Chairman of the House Agriculture committee in 1963, a post of leadership, respon­ sibility and influence. 8. In the late 1950's county government effectiveness was a serious problem and a Blue Ribbon group was appointed to form a statewide County Government Problems com­ mission. McConnell was chairman for the first six years. After losing his bid for the General Assembly in the year candidates ran at large on the infamous "blanket ballot", McConnell served as the McHenry county represen­ tative on the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission and as a member of the Planning committee of that commission. But when Mcconnell is asked what he remembers most about his public service career, he usually smiles broadly and asserts the act he likes to remember is "what I was able to do for young people." He elaborates to explain that while a member of the McHenry County board in the mid-1940's, he noticed the McHenry county 4-H show was being held at the high school grounds in a field not suited for such an event. • He persuaded the McHenry County board to lease the fairgrounds on Route 47 to a • MMMT McHENRY TIRE MART 1 NOW FEATURINQ SlipfRSAIf ^AJ GRANT BATTERIES UP TO S10 OFF / ////## FIRESTONE DELUXE FULL 4 PLY- WHITEWALL G78-15 4 SALE PRICE PRICES INCLUDES FRCK MOUNTING & BALANCING!

The 4-H show con­ tinues to serve as the cen­ terpiece of the five-day fair which in 1978 attracted more than 100,000 visitors. In its nomination, the Farm Bureau pointed out Mc­ Connell's ability to work with political leaders and how he was the leader in getting the Route 14 bypass built around Route 14 at a time when road building funds were practically n o n - e x i s t e n t . K e y i m ­ provements on Routes 14, 20, 31, 64, and 30 were achieved through his skills continues the report A.B. McConnell's roots in McHenry county are deep. His great grandfather, William, was the first settler in Rich­ mond township in 1836. His grandfather, A.B., bought the land where he now lives on Woodstock's east edge. His father, Fred, farmed the land and was active in Farm Bureau when it was organized in McHenry county in 1912. His other services include h e l p i n g o r g a n i z e d t h e Production Credit association serving McHenry county in the early 1930's (and serving as its first president for more than a decade) and serving as president of the Woodstock Cemetery Association since the 1950s.
