      IN HONOR OF GREG BUCKLEY, STEVE BUCKLEY, AND MICHELE CRANER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2003

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Greg Buckley, 
Steve Buckley and Michele Craner of Buckley's Auto Care, this year's 
recipients of the Delaware Small Business Development Center Network 
Diamond Award.
  As you know, small businesses such as Buckley's Auto Care, have 
always been extremely important to the economic vitality of each State 
and to our national economy. Small businesses account for the majority 
of all new jobs being created daily, and provide opportunities for 
millions of people to earn a living and provide financial stability for 
their families. Through Greg, Steve and Michele's teamwork and 
guidance, Buckley's Auto Care has distinguished itself as a leader 
amongst small businesses in Delaware by offering a valuable service and 
maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction.
  Through out my years in public service I have consistently counted 
Delaware's small businesses to be amongst the very best in the Country, 
and recognition of Buckley's Auto Care by the Delaware SBDC Network, in 
my mind, confirms this belief.
  Greg, Steve and Michele's accomplishments and innovative leadership 
in the small business community have placed Buckley's Auto Care in a 
position to rise above and meet the challenges of the future; I commend 
them on their receipt of this award and wish them continued success.
