                      TRIBUTE TO CAROL LYNN KELLEY

                                 ______


                          HON. THOMAS M. DAVIS

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 25, 1995
  Mr. DAVIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to pay tribute to one of 
our outstanding citizens in Virginia's Eleventh Congressional District, 
Carol Lynn Kelley of Lake Barcroft.
  Carol, known as ``Kari'' to her friends, was born 40 years ago in 
Woonsocket, RI, to Margaret and Stacia Klara. A 1972 graduate from 
Woonsocket High School, she graduated from Vassar College in 1976, and 
obtained her law degree from Case Western University School of Law in 
Cleveland in 1979. She practiced law in Cleveland until 1985, when she 
moved to Fairfax County, VA.
  After being admitted to the Virginia Bar she practiced law in 
Northern Virginia from 1986 to 1992. At that time Kari decided to 
devote more time to her two young daughters, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and 
Allison and the community where she and her husband Tim make their 
home.
  Kari has been active in the PTA's at Ellen Glasgow Middle School and 
Pinecrest School. She is an active Brownie leader in Falls Church and a 
member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church.
  Last year Mrs. Kelly was appointed to the Fairfax County Civil 
Service Commission, a body which adjudicates disputes in the Fairfax 
County government and makes recommendations on civil service policy.
  Mr. Speaker, I know my colleagues join me in honoring Kari Kelley, an 
outstanding mother, attorney, civic activist and civil service 
commissioner as her friends and community leaders honor her on 
Saturday, January 28, 1995, at the Morse Estate in Falls Church.
