the Indiana Statewide Association. He has had a long and distinguished 
career with Indiana's electric cooperative industry. He has been a 
member of the Clark County REMC board since 1973 and a director of 
Indiana Statewide since 1988. He served as the association's's 
secretary-treasurer from 1989 to 1991 and as its vice president from 
1991 to 1993.
  Mr. Webb is dedicated in all his efforts to the betterment of rural

deserving of the praise and recognition of his fellow Hoosiers.
