                HONORING THADDEUS ``TED'' MUSIALKIEWICZ

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Sunday, November 9, 1997

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize a man who has devoted his life to serving the community of 
New York's Ulster County.
  Thaddeus ``Ted'' Musialkiewicz began his involvement in local 
activities at a very young age. From organizing youth athletic teams to 
founding and serving as scoutmaster in a local Boy Scout troop, Ted 
took a keen interest in the lives of those around him. He truly enjoyed 
being involved with his neighbors, and, Mr. Speaker, that feeling was 
reciprocated.
  While devoting a great deal of his time to community groups, Ted 
managed to establish himself as a successful businessman and craftsman. 
He was eventually named president of the Town of Ulster's Business 
Association where his capable leadership helped to guide local 
businesses to prosperity.
  Outside of his proficient professional career and generous community 
service, Ted selflessly entered into the civic arena by serving as both 
councilman and supervisor for the Town of Ulster. Once again, he used 
this leadership opportunity to promote a better standard of living for 
all of those around him. His outstanding accomplishments in this 
capacity are epitomized by his efforts in opening the Town of Ulster 
Public Library. This building, which continues to serve the Ulster 
community, will forever be a lasting legacy to Ted's selfless work on 
behalf of his peers.
  Although Ted was constantly busy with one project or another, he 
found the time to maintain strong ties to his ethnic community. In 
characteristic fashion, he was, and remains today, extraordinarily 
active in the White Eagle Benevolent Society, working to preserve 
Polish-American values and promote the academic success of Polish-
American students.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to join my friends in the White Eagle Benevolent 
Society in honoring Thaddeus Musialkiewicz for his charitable service 
to his community and tireless commitment to elevating those around him. 
I am proud to call Ted my friend and wish him and his family well.
