                        WELCOMING BOETTGER BABY

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to announce the birth 
of a fine young lady, Emily Copeland Boettger. Emily is the first child 
of Scott and Sally Boettger, and was born on May 8, 2002. Scott and 
Sally live in Hailey, Idaho, and are active in natural resources and 
environmental issues in the state. Scott serves as the Executive 
Directory of the Wood River Land Trust, and Sally serves as the 
Director of Development of The Nature Conservancy in Idaho. I have 
spent time in the Boettger's home and enjoyed their expertise and 
experience in outdoor activities. I'm happy to report that mother, 
father, and baby are doing well, although Scott and Sally are probably 
getting used to fewer hours of sleep.
  Emily is the granddaughter of Cherry and William F. Gillespie, III, 
of Wilmington, DE, and Doug and Gail Boettger of Spring City, PA. I 
know they join with me in sending best wishes and welcome greetings to 
young Emily.
  It is always a joyous event to bring a new family member into the 
world. Emily has been much-anticipated and has held a place in the 
hearts of her parents and family for many months now as they have 
awaited her arrival. As the father of five myself, I know that Scott 
and Sally are in for a most remarkable, frustrating, rewarding, and 
exciting experience of their lives. Emily will make certain of that. 
Our best wishes go out to the Boettger family on this most auspicious 
occasion.
