                         Friday, July 26, 2002

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration 
of the 80th birthday of a great American and an even greater South 
Carolinian, Mrs. Nancy Dinwiddie Hawk. Nancy Hawk was born on July 31, 
1922. She is the proud mother of nine children and was the recipient of 
the ``National Mother of the Year Award.'' Nancy was a stay at home mom 
who always put family first. It was not until after her children were 
grown that she decided to pursue her dream to become an attorney. At 
the age of 55, Nancy Hawk graduated from the University of South 
Carolina Law School. Nancy is a natural leader, she was chairwoman of 
the South Carolina Republican Party for a number of years. She 
continues to be an inspiration to me and all who are fortunate enough 
to cross paths with her.
  Please join me in wishing Mrs. Nancy Dinwiddie Hawk a Happy 80th 
Birthday.
