               TRIBUTE TO SHERIFF'S DEPUTY BUDDY PARRISH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 27, 2001

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that an 
outstanding career in law enforcement has come to an end. Buddy 
Parrish, a Wellington, Missouri, resident, recently retired after 29 
years of service as a sheriff's deputy.
  Mr. Parrish has diligently served the people of Lafayette County, for 
nearly three decades. His dedication to public service and to the 
citizens of the county is to be commended. A truly distinguished 
enforcement officer, Buddy was recently honored with a ceremony at the 
Lafayette County Courthouse. Over 80 people, including several 
respected civic leaders, paid tribute to Buddy's long and admirable 
career.
  Mr. Speaker, Buddy had an exceptional career in law enforcement. I 
wish him all the best in the days ahead. I am certain that the Members 
of the House will join me in paying tribute to this fine Missourian.
