                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to pay tribute to one of my constituents, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Place of Webster, MA. Mrs. Place was recently named Woman of the Year, 
by the Patriot Newspaper of Webster, in recognition of her many years 
of devotion to that community.
  A resident of central Massachusetts for over 40 years, Elizabeth 
Place has spent much of that time serving as a volunteer in her 
community. An original member of the fundraising committee for the New 
Hubbard Regional Hospital in Webster, Mrs. Place is currently a member 
of the board of directors at the hospital. In addition, she serves as 
an area director for the United Way. Also, Mrs. Place is a member of 
the Hubbard Regional Hospital Women's Guild, an organization which she 
previously represented as president.
  A member of the United Church of Christ, Mrs. Place served on a 
number of different church committees, and is also a former member of 
the Webster Women's Club and the Webster Garden Club. A devoted mother, 
Mrs. Place raised her five children in Webster, serving as both a Girl 
Scout and Cub Scout leader, the latter for 20 years.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to recognize, along with the 
people of Webster MA, the many accomplishments of Elizabeth Place. I 
wish her well in any future endeavor.
