                          HONORING TERRY LYNCH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TERRY EVERETT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 13, 2001

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, the devastation our country has suffered 
became profoundly personal when my staff and I learned that a former 
member of our delegation staff was among those who were murdered by 
terrorists when a hijacked plane hit the Pentagon Tuesday morning.
  Terry Lynch was from Youngstown, Ohio, and got his master's degree 
from Youngstown State University, where he met his wife, Jackie. He 
became an adopted Alabamian when he went to work for Senator Richard 
Shelby of Alabama from 1983 to 1995. During those years, Terry worked 
closely with many of us on military projects for all of Alabama and in 
particular, the Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama, and 
Maxwell-Gunter AFB, Montgomery, Alabama, both of which are in my 2nd 
District.
  Terry was a kind and knowledgeable person who was dependable and 
dedicated to doing his job and doing it well. He was well liked by his 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both the House and in the 
Senate. Terry worked tirelessly on behalf of his adopted state.
  At home in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County, he was known as a 
kind and considerate neighbor, coach for his daughters, Tiffany and 
Ashley's T-ball and softball teams; and all around good friend.
  Terry Lynch is indelibly etched in the hearts and minds of all 
Alabamians. Our hearts go out to Jackie, Tiffany, and Ashley during 
this great time of sadness for all of us.
