                        A TRIBUTE TO DONNA LYNCH

                                 ______


                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 17, 1996

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today to 
give tribute to an outstanding individual on her being nominated grand 
marshall for the Fourth of July celebration in Rosebush, MI.
  Donna Burch was 1 of 15 children born to a farming family in 
Rosebush, MI. Both her and her future husband, Terry, attended Mt. 
Pleasant High School and shortly after graduation, in 1955, they were 
married. Today they are the proud parents of eight children, and Donna 
is best known as the home cooking inspiration of the White Wagon 
Restaurant and Motel.
  Donna is more than just a proud mother and successful restaurateur, 
she is also a humanitarian and public servant. She is always ready to 
help organize fundraisers for good causes or to provide food and 
comfort for a family in need. To know Donna Lynch is a wonderful 
experience. Being quick with a hug, this busy, hard-working woman is a 
pure pleasure to be with. Easy to laugh and enjoy a good joke; yet 
tough enough to get the job done.
  It is work such as Donna's, both for her family and for the 
community, that inspires us all to achieve the best we can, and to 
promote these qualities in others. Mr. Speaker, I know you will join my 
colleagues and me in honoring the work of Mrs. Donna Lynch and the 
legacy of service and commitment she has left for us all.
