                      REMEMBERING DAVID ROSS YOUNG

                                 ______


                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 14, 1995
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of 
David Ross Young, who died of AIDS earlier this month. I am proud to 
say that David lived in my district, in Sonoma County, CA.
  David did more to touch the lives of others in his 32 years than most 
people do in a lifetime. After being diagnosed with the AIDS virus, 
David dedicated his life to preventing the spread of AIDS among young 
people, speaking to students at Sonoma and Marin County schools about 
the disease. In addition, he trained hundreds of speakers who will 
carry on his message in his wake.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a truly great human being who, when faced with a 
limit on the amount of time he has left in this world, chooses to spend 
it helping others. My heart and my thoughts are with you, David. Your 
legacy lives within the hearts and minds of the youngsters whose lives 
you have touched and whose lives you have saved.
