                        RECOGNIZING JUDY STANLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MICHAEL PAPPAS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 26, 1998

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, this Sunday, March 29, 1998, The Friends of 
Monmouth Battlefield will host their annual Molly Pitcher Awards 
Reception. The recipient of this year's Molly Pitcher Award is Judith 
Hurley Stanley, a lifelong resident of Monmouth County, New Jersey who 
has selflessly served the community in so many ways.
  Mr. Speaker, Judy Stanley has been active in issues and causes at a 
local, county and state level for as long as I can remember. She has 
been involved in the health care profession and has held numerous 
positions in the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey of which 
she currently serves as chairman. The Monmouth Medical Center and the 
Mid-Atlantic Health Group have also been blessed with Judy's 
involvement. The Governor recognized Judy's expertise in this area when 
she was appointed to the Statewide Health Coordinating Council.
  Judy is also the founder and president of the Monmouth County 
Conservation Foundation. Generations of New Jersey residents will reap 
the benefits of Judy's efforts to preserve countless acres of beautiful 
open space in the Garden State through her activity in this 
organization and through her service on the Governor's Council on New 
Jersey Outdoors.
  Beyond the preservation of open space, Judy has helped preserve the 
history of Monmouth County through her association with the Monmouth 
County Historical Association. And it is noteworthy that beyond the 
efforts to preserve space and facts, Judy's numerous associations in 
the area of education have illustrated her desire to share the facts, 
ideas, and knowledge that she has sought to maintain.
  Mr. Speaker, Molly Pitcher's fame stemmed from her heroic service to 
our nation's troops during the Revolutionary War. During the War, Molly 
tirelessly refreshed the troops with pitchers of water. Judy Stanley 
truly exemplifies the true spirit of Molly Pitcher through her 
countless efforts to replenish and maintain Monmouth County and the 
state of New Jersey.
  I would like to add my name to the extensive list of organizations, 
association, and clubs that have recognized Judy's outstanding service 
and extend my congratulations to her on this award.
