great respect for the outstanding record of excellence he has compiled

award is made to young adults who have demonstrated that they are truly 
committed to playing important roles in our Nation's future.

responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, MI.

of the National Honor Society, Michael excelled academically and served 
as a class officer, chairperson for float building and homecoming 
committees, and cochairperson for the prom committee. Additionally, 
Michael was all-conference in both football and wrestling, and did 
local volunteer work.
  In special tribute, therefore, I am proud to join with his many 
admirers in extending my highest praise and congratulations to Michael 
Bush for his selection as a winner of a LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This 
honor is also a testament to the parents, teachers, and others whose 
personal interest, strong support, and active participation contributed 
to his success. To this remarkable young man, I extend my most 
heartfelt good wishes for all his future endeavors.
