            TRIBUTE TO AUSTIN ``BUSTER'' AND DELORES WORKING

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILL LUTHER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 28, 2001

  Mr. LUTHER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take the opportunity today 
to recognize Austin ``Buster'' Working and his wife Delores for their 
hard work and dedication on behalf of Minnesota's veterans.
  Buster and Delores were recently chosen to lead Pup Tent 11, the 
Honor Degree of the VFW and its Auxiliary. Their long years of proudly 
serving Minnesota's veterans make them uniquely qualified to hold the 
important positions of Commander and President. They have continuously 
served our veterans with dedication and commitment. For example, during 
the past 20 years, Buster has organized over 18,000 hospital visits to 
Minnesota veterans. Delores has baked and delivered over 31,000 cookies 
to Minnesota Veterans homes. These tireless efforts, paired with 
enthusiastic selfless service and a willingness to invest personnel 
time and energy, serve as an outstanding example of the spirit of 
volunteerism that we should foster today.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of my constituents. Buster and Delores are 
serving those who served our country. I can think of no better way to 
show our gratitude to those who risked their lives for our freedom. I 
thank them for their service.
