                TRIBUTE TO JEAN MILLER OF HER RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 11, 1997

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, within every community, there are 
individuals who, through their acts of kindness and selflessness, touch 
many lives. Quite often, they are the silent leaders following a path 
that many others have traveled. Those who travel with them find 
prosperity at the end. One such leader is Jean Miller.
  In April 1997, Ms. Miller will be retiring as president of the 
Southern Chester County, PA, Emergency Medical Services, Inc. For Ms. 
Miller, this marks the end of an impressive and rewarding career. She 
served 25 years in the Navy, including three tours as a surgical nurse 
during the Vietnam war. Ms. Miller was also an active member of the 
West Grove Fire Co. She has been admired by her colleagues for her 
skills in the operating room as well as the warmth she displayed in the 
recovery room.
  Credited for improving ambulatory services in the Chester County 
community, Ms. Miller expanded the services to include routine 
ambulance transportation and emergency basic life support services. In 
addition, she was the guide for providing basic life support 
professional staff to local ambulance services, augmenting such 
services during daytime hours when volunteer help was limited.
  On March 16, the citizens of Chester County will honor Jean Miller 
for a lifetime of unselfish service. As she receives accolades from the 
citizens present at this event, individuals across the country who were 
touched by Ms. Miller's caring hands will once again feel her touch as 
the last chapter of an illustrious career comes to an end.
  As chairman of the Congressional Fire Service Caucus, it is my honor 
to pay tribute to Ms. Miller on behalf of the 320 Fire Caucus members.
