                        Thursday, June 25, 1998

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak of an extraordinary person 
who is being named Woman of the Year by the Business and Professional 
Women's Club of Mount Vernon--Adele Zeller. I have known Adele for 
several years and can attest that she is a dynamic person who gives 
unselfishly for the betterment of the whole community.
  She and her husband Noel have owned businesses in Mount Vernon since 
1964 and have lived in Westchester County for the past thirty years. 
They have founded and operated several companies, the latest, Zelco 
Industries, has expanded operations worldwide with facilities in the 
United States, Italy, Hong Kong and China. Its broad range of products 
are distributed in 30 countries around the world.
  They have also opened a second company in Italy. This expansion can 
be credited to Adele's remarkable sales and marketing proficiency and 
her ability to converse in Italian, Spanish and French.
  Adele is Chair of the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce and is also a 
member of the Board of Directors of the Rose YM-YWHA. In both positions 
she is serving with distinction.
  Her hard work and caring and her dedication to the community has made 
Mount Vernon a better community for all who live and work there. I know 
we all cherish and thank Adele Zeller for her dedication and 
commitment.
