wife who have made

a lasting difference in the lives of over 1,000 cadets during their 45 
years of service at Carson Long Military Institute; Lt. Col. and Mrs. 
Kenneth P. Stuart. This June Lieutenant Colonel Stuart and his wife 
will end their magnificent careers at Pennsylvania's oldest military 
school, Carson Long in New Bloomfield, PA.
  During his service, Colonel Stuart influenced the lives of over 1,300 
young cadets. Since beginning his service in 1951, he has coached three 
sports, football, basketball, and baseball; he has served as the social 
studies department head, a building officer, the assistant to the 
president, and as the commandant of cadets.
  Mrs. Stuart likewise shares a distinguished record of service at 
Carson Long. During her 20 years of service she has served as the 
librarian for the institute--a very important position in a school of 
higher learning, and as the social director for the institute since 
1971.
  I want to commend the outstanding efforts of these hard-working, 
exceptionally bright and dedicated educators. As our Nation looks for 
solutions to its many social shortcomings, the dedicated lives of these 
two brilliant people should shine as an example to our society on how 
to build communities and lives with purpose.
  The Carson Long Military Institute has a long and honorable tradition 
dating back over 160 years to its founding in 1836. I know the staff 
and cadets of Carson Long are proud to be associated with such an 
historic institution and it is through this pride in Carson Long that 
they share in the lifelong dedication of these two great individuals.
  Through their lives they have truly exemplified the ideal of 
community service and as a nation, we must be proud to have such 
individuals in our society. I for one am privileged that they reside in 
central Pennsylvania.
  As the Colonel and Mrs. Stuart begin to celebrate their retirement, I 
know that all of the Members of Congress join me in wishing them every 
happiness in return and all the success in their future endeavors.
