IN RECOGNITION OF THE FLOOD RELIEF ASSISTANCE GIVEN BY THE STUDENTS OF 
   KEYSTONE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA TO THE RESIDENTS OF KEYSTONE, WEST 
                                VIRGINIA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DON SHERWOOD

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 20, 2002

  Mr. SHERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today in praise of 
the efforts of the students and faculty of Keystone College, LaPlume, 
Pennsylvania, who recently came to the aid of the residents of 
Keystone, West Virginia. Due to recent devastating flooding in West 
Virginia, Keystone College President, Dr. Edward (Ned) G. Boehm, Jr., 
put out the call and challenge for his students and college to rally to 
the aid of the flood victims. I am pleased to report that they all met 
that challenge head on.
  On May 14, Keystone College representatives delivered a check for $ 
1,000, food and clothing, which they had collected, to Mayor Larry 
Martin at the Keystone Town Hall for distribution to the flood victims. 
It is clear that the communities of Keystone College and Keystone, West 
Virginia, share more than a common name. They share a bond which was 
formed out of adversity and need.
  Community service is part of the curriculum taught at Keystone 
College. It is one thing to be taught an idea or concept, such as 
community service, but it is through its implementation that true 
learning occurs. The students and faculty are to be commended for their 
thoughtful and giving deeds. But the story does end with this one 
finite act. This fall, a group of Keystone students will travel to 
Keystone, West Virginia, to help with the repair and recovery efforts.
  Truly, community service is the ``keystone'' which brings all our 
communities closer together. It is through such selfless deeds and acts 
that we see our true reflection.
