                       HONORING MARLOW McCULLOUGH

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I am afforded the 
opportunity to rise amongst my colleagues to honor Mrs. Marlow 
McCullough of Taylor County, KY. Mrs. McCullough was recently named 
Woman of the Year for the Taylor County community.
  When Marlow McCullough was informed that she had been named Woman of 
the Year for Taylor County, she was completely shocked and surprised. 
In fact, she did not have any idea that she had even been nominated for 
the contest. In an extremely thoughtful and loving gesture, David 
McCullough, Marlow's husband, nominated her for the award. Marlow was 
one of 40 women to be considered for this honor.
  In my experiences in sports, business, and politics, I have 
discovered that the most difficult part of being successful is 
balancing responsibilities and commitments. Trying to find adequate and 
ample time to satisfy all of our wants and needs can be quite an 
overwhelming and intimidating task. For most of us, this task is 
something we work toward for a lifetime. Marlow McCullough has 
skillfully mastered this seemingly impossible balancing act.
  Mrs. McCullough is not just a loving wife of 24 years and devoted 
mother of 4 wonderful children. She also is a full-time and highly 
respected instructor of mathematics at Campbellsville University. As if 
these accolades would not suffice to earn her the title of Woman of the 
Year, Mrs. McCullough is an accomplished musician, an active and devout 
member of the Campbellsville Baptist Church, an organizer of local 
youth soccer, and an active and visible participant in many of her 
children's school activities. Mrs. McCullough stated it best when she 
said, ``Planning and partnerships are the keys to success.''
  I applaud Mrs. McCullough for her commitment to church, family, 
career, and community, and congratulate her on being named Woman of the 
Year for Taylor County. I believe we all can learn something from her 
exemplary behavior.
