                     TRIBUTE TO BUCKNER HINKLE, SR.

  (Mr. FLETCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the life and 
accomplishments of Mr. Buckner Hinkle, Sr. of Bourbon County, Kentucky.
  Mr. Hinkle will be missed deeply by his family and community, but his 
memory will live forever in a place he loved so dearly and worked so 
hard to preserve. He was a leader in his community and worked 
tirelessly to make sure Bourbon County was the best it possibly could 
be.
  Mr. Hinkle was a dedicated friend, neighbor and citizen, who showed 
an ongoing interest for people around him and for the community in 
which he lived. He gave unselfishly of himself and asked for nothing in 
return.
  I know he will be missed by his loving family and friends, however 
his memory and many contributions to those around him will live 
forever. It is an honor to recognize the life of an outstanding 
American who truly made Bourbon County, Kentucky, a better place.
