                    CONGRATULATIONS TO GEORGIA WARE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. ROY BLUNT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 15, 1998

  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. Speaker, anyone who has been an employer can tell you 
the difference great employees can make on behalf of a business or 
organization. Exceptional employees are the foundation of exceptional 
endeavors, happy clients or customers, successful businesses and 
extremely pleased bosses. It's true--great employees make their bosses 
look good!
  When Georgia Ware retires from her job as Peter Herschend's 
Administrative Assistant at Silver Dollar City this October, Peter is 
going to have to work harder to keep up his image. Georgia has made him 
and Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri look really good for almost 
twenty years.
  Many people only know Georgia Ware by telephone. When people call 
Peter Herschend, the Vice Chairman of Silver Dollar City, Inc.--the 
internationally--known family-oriented attraction in Branson--Georgia 
is who they talk to first and first impressions are important.
  Georgia is more than an assistant. Her voice has the ultimate sound 
of hospitality blended with just the right amount of authority needed 
to represent a very busy and very sought after boss, as he tends to 
this unique family-owned business. She knows how to respond to CEO's, 
family friends, local business leaders, Governors, and even 
Congressmen--with just the right touch. Georgia is the perfect 
diplomat, ambassador and empathizer. Even ``no'' sound pretty good when 
she says it.
  Georgia will be leaving Southwest Missouri to move closer to her only 
son, Jerry, his wife, Debbie and their daughter, Mindy. We know they 
look forward to her arrival and she surely is ready to be closer to 
them.
  Silver Dollar City and all of us who work with them will sorely miss 
her contributions to their every day efforts. My best wishes and many 
thanks to Georgia--she is exceptional.
