                             BEATRICE KAHAN

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
remember a woman who spent her life striving to improve her community, 
Beatrice Kahan of Kalkaska. She passed away earlier this month.
  A long time resident of Kalkaska, Beatrice Kahan held many public 
positions. For her many contributions to the community she was selected 
as the Kalkaska Citizen of the Year and was recognized as one of the 
top 10 Women of the Year by the Zonta Club of Michigan.
  Beatrice Kahan served on the Kalkaska Village Council, the 
Cosmetology Board, the Probate Court Advisory Commission, the Trout 
Memorial Board, and acted as president of the Kalkaska Chamber of 
Commerce. Her contributions to the community include spearheading the 
effort to build sewers in Kalkaska, founding the International Dog 
Races, restoring the downtown Kalkaska Trout Memorial, and identifying 
problems of elderly abuse.
  Mr. President, it is an honor for me to pay tribute to Beatrice 
Kahan, a caring educator who established the K-College of Cosmetology 
in Kalkasa and Traverse City. Many of her former students remember her 
as the person who gave their lives direction and the skills they needed 
to compete in the marketplace. She will be remembered warmly by her 
family, friends, and the entire community.
