                    HONORING A PULASKI COUNTY LEADER

                                 ______


                           HON. HAROLD ROGERS

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 1994

  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, I am deeply saddened by the death of my good 
friend Dr. Stephen Kelley. My family and thousands of others throughout 
Pulaski County and Kentucky are devastated by this terrible loss.
  Our community has lost an excellent and caring physician, an active 
church leader, an inspiring civic and community volunteer, a political 
leader, and a good christian friend. He helped everyone he could and 
always was willing to sacrifice his time for others.
  Serving the communities throughout Pulaski County for 32 years, 
Kelley was voted Citizen Doctor of the Year by the Kentucky Academy of 
Family Physicians. He also served as president of the organization.
  Dr. Kelley was also an inspirational leader to thousands of Boy 
Scouts. He rose from a local troop leader, through the presidency of 
the Bluegrass Council to vice president of the Southern United States 
region. He was honored numerous times by Boy Scouts of America with 
their highest honors, the Silver Beaver and Silver Antelope for 
outstanding volunteer service.
  Dr. Kelley always looked for a way to build a better community. More 
times than not, he found that way through hard work, commitment, and 
perseverance.
  Armed with a remarkable ability to energize people, Steve had a 
special gift: the ability to lift people's spirits. Whether it was 
religion, medicine, civic work, scouting, or politics, he always 
motivated people to strive and achieve their best.
  Stephen Kelley was a great leader and a good man. He will be sorely 
missed by many thousands.
