                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 6, 1998

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an extraordinary 
constituent, Shelly McPeck Kelly. Shelly was tragically killed in a 
plane crash with Commerce Secretary Ron Brown in 1996. Shelly McPeck 
Kelly was an outstanding citizen who devoted a lifetime to helping 
those in her community and country, and she has been missed by all 
those who knew her.
  Throughout her life, Shelly McPeck Kelly was a model citizen. She was 
loyal and devoted wife. As the proud parents of two children, she and 
her husband shared many wonderful memories. Shelly served faithfully in 
the United States Air Force as an airplane stewardess. Her hard work 
paid off by achieving the rank of Technical Sergeant. Shelly should 
also be commended for her service to the United States during the 
Bosnian Peacekeeping Operation.
  On August 15, 1998, Shelly will be remembered by her family and 
friends as they plant a tree in her memory. I ask my colleagues to join 
the residents of Eastern Ohio and myself in remembering Shelly McPeck 
Kelly's courage, loyalty and service to her country.
