                      A TRIBUTE TO ANTHONY BELSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. FRED UPTON

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 9, 1998

  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribune to a dedicated 
and devoted friend of Southwest Michigan, Mr. Anthony Belski. This 
month he is retiring after thirty-six years of service to St. Joseph 
Public Schools. For twenty-nine of those years, Mr. Belski presided 
over Lincoln Elementary School as its principal.
  During his tenure, Mr. Belski has seen a lot of change but through it 
all, one thing remains the same--his enduring dedication to the kids. 
Principals are in a unique position to touch so many lives and to help 
mold so many futures. As an educator, Mr. Belski is in a unique 
position to have his hard work live on in each of his students--clearly 
southwest Michigan is a better place thanks to his efforts.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Mr. Anthony Belski for all of 
his work and wishing him a long, productive, and happy retirement.
