                         TRIBUTE TO PEGGY YOUNG

  (Mr. CHAMBLISS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to my good friend 
Peggy Young, who is retiring tonight as the museum director at the 
Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, GA.
  When Peggy retires this evening, she will leave as her legacy an 
aviation museum that ranks as the second largest in the Air Force, a 
far cry from its humble beginnings only 15 years ago with no building, 
two aircraft, and only $20 in the bank.
  Under Peggy's leadership, the Museum of Aviation has grown into a 
world-class museum complex that covers 43 acres, has over 85 aircraft 
on display, and hosts nearly a half million families, historians, and 
aviation enthusiasts each year.
  As Peggy says good-bye tonight to the museum she literally helped 
build from the ground up, she leaves behind a living testament to her 
personal character and professional abilities.
  Congratulations to Peggy, and her husband Bob, on a job well done. 
Thanks for your contribution to your community, your State, and your 
country.
