  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join 
me in paying tribute to and congratulating Kenneth Seldon of Hampshire 
County, West Virginia. For over 50 years, Mr. Seldon's hard work and 
dedication to his community have been truly inspiring.
  With a work ethic deeply rooted in the American Dream, Kenneth Seldon 
has faithfully operated Riverside Service and General Store in Yellow 
Spring, West Virginia since May 22, 1952. In addition to operating the 
business, Kenneth also served as Yellow Spring Postmaster from 1957 to 
1982. Mr. Seldon is also a charter member of the Capon Valley Ruritan 
and an active member of the Timber Ridge Christian Church.
  In honor of Kenneth Seldon's 50 years of hard work, dedication, and 
commitment to his family and community, I ask my friends in Hampshire 
County and my colleagues here in the nation's capital to join me in 
recognizing May 19, 2002 as a day of celebration and recognition for 
Kenneth Seldon.
