                     TRIBUTE TO FRANCES B. TURNAGE

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a woman 
who was well known and liked in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, 
Mrs. Frances Baker Allen Turnage, who passed away last month at the age 
of 70.
  Charleston ladies are known for their graciousness, hospitality, and 
elegance, and Mrs. Turnage was certainly a lady of Charleston in every 
manner. Born in the city, she was graduated from both the prestigious 
prepatory school Ashley Hall and Chevy Chase Junior College, and she 
attended the College of Charleston. A dedicated member of her

community, Mrs. Turnage was active in a number of civic organizations, 
including the Junior League; the Ivy Garden Club; the Association of 
the Blind; and Grace Episcopal Church. Her efforts and work greatly 
benefitted her hometown and helped to make it such a special place to 
live.
  Mrs. Turnage led a full and rewarding life. She will be greatly 
missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her and my 
condolences go out to her husband, retired Maj. Gen. Benjamin O. 
Turnage, Jr.; her children, C.M. ``Chipper'' Allen, Ann A. Harris, 
Frances A. Sadler, Robin A. Rodenberg; her stepsons, Col. John O. 
Turnage and Rev. Benjamin W. Turnage; and numerous grandchildren and 
stepgrandchildren. They may all take solace in knowing their mother and 
grandmother was a very special lady.
