                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, October 10, 1998

  Mr. ENGLISH of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that 
I rise today to honor Randall Coleman who recently received the Henry 
Evans Volunteer of the Year Award.
  This award is presented annually by the Shenango Valley Chamber of 
Commerce in order to honor a person who not only volunteers his time to 
support the chamber, but also volunteers in other community 
organizations. Randall Coleman has shown a lifelong commitment to 
volunteer service.
  Mr. Coleman lives in the Shenango Valley with his wife Ann and son 
Grant. He has had a distinctive and promising career with Penn Power 
where he currently serves as the Mercer County Area Manager. But is Mr. 
Coleman's active role in the community that makes him a invaluable 
asset. He currently serves as a president of the Kiwanis Club of 
Sharon, as a member of the Pennsylvania Electric Association, the 
Pennsylvania Economy League, Private Industry Council, and the National 
Association of Industrial Office Properties, the American Heart 
Association as well as serving as a member in the fundraising cabinet 
of the United Way of Mercer County in its construction division.
  Mr. Coleman served as the coordinator of volunteers for the Special 
Olympics of Mercer County. However, Randall Coleman feels that his most 
rewarding experience was teaching handicapped children to swim as an 
American Red Cross Lifeguard. It was a rewarding experience because for 
these children achieving this goal is more difficult because of their 
special needs.
  I am proud to recognize Mr. Coleman's achievements today. He is 
certainly an asset to our community in western Pennsylvania.
