                     TRIBUTE TO NYLA HAMMERS MORGAN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding Kentuckian. Ms. Nyla Hammers Morgan of Morgantown, KY, 
gives fully and wholeheartedly of herself to her community and deserves 
to be recognized for her many contributions to Butler County.
  Ms. Morgan was born on March 16, 1918, attended Morgantown Elementary 
School and graduated from Morgantown High School at the age of 15. 
After graduation, she enrolled in the Lois Glynn Beauty College and 
became a licensed cosmetologist. For the next 53 years, she owned and 
operated NYLA's Beauty Shop in Morgantown. As anyone from a small town 
knows, the local beauty shop is just as important to the residents as 
the county courthouse. But Ms. Morgan went beyond this professional 
contribution to her community to give personally as well.
  Nyla Hammers Morgan's dedication to her hometown is reflected by the 
countless hours she has given to various community events. Her 
patriotism, organizational skills, community involvement, and 
dedication have enabled her to contribute greatly to her community. Ms. 
Morgan has organized Memorial Day remembrance programs, Flag Day 
programs, and World War II anniversary programs. She became involved in 
the Butler County Chamber of Commerce as the executive secretary, and 
served a term as the president of the Butler County Parent-Teacher 
Association. She also became very involved in the Friends of the 
Library Program. As a member of the Butler County Historical and 
Genealogical Society, which she served as president for 4 years, she 
helped to place 21 historic homes on the Kentucky Register of Historic 
Places, and found time to serve as chairperson of the Butler County 
Bicentennial.
  Mr. President, Ms. Morgan's community truly owes her a debt of 
gratitude. She has been an active member of the community for many 
years, and deserves much recognition for her contributions and 
accomplishments. It is impossible to list everything she has done to 
make Butler County a better place, but she is truly an outstanding 
person, and I congratulate her on her many accomplishments.
