TRIBUTE TO DOROTHY SEELEY, SOUTHSIDE ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATIONS' WOMAN OF

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 11, 1998

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to Mrs. Dorothy 
Seeley, who will be honored Sunday, February 22, 1998, as the Woman of 
the Year by the Council of South Side Advancement Associations, 
Incorporated, of Milwaukee.
  The Council of South Side Advancement Associations is a network 
comprised of delegates from south side Milwaukee veterans, scholarship, 
business, civic and senior citizen organizations. Its members, from 
many diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds come together in a 
coalition to educate themselves on local matters, to provide support to 
each other and address issues involving the South Side community.

  In this spirit, the Council will celebrate its 51st annual Lincoln 
Day Banquet on February 22nd and will honor my long time friend and 
supporter, and senior citizen advocate extraordinaire, Mrs. Dorothy 
Seeley.
  Dorothy has a well-earned reputation around the Milwaukee area and 
our entire state as a real go-getter and fighter for the rights of our 
senior citizens. From her years at Nordberg Manufacturing Company as a 
crane operator, to her union steward days, right on through her 
appointments by Wisconsin Governor John Reynolds and Milwaukee County 
Executive John Doyne, Dorothy has been a friend of working men and 
women and retirees. To this day, as President of United Seniors of 
Wisconsin, Dorothy pursues the never-ending battle to protect the 
rights of seniors, so that their voices can be heard here at home in 
Milwaukee, in Madison at the State Capitol and in Washington, D.C.
  In 1990, Dorothy was given the prestigious honor of being named one 
of Wisconsin's Ten Most Admired Senior Citizens by Security Savings at 
an awards ceremony during the Wisconsin State Fair.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, I ask that you join me in congratulating 
Mrs. Dorothy Seeley on a job well done. Keep up the great work, 
Dorothy, for many years to come. May God Bless.
