                         TRIBUTE TO PAT KELLER

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to one of Kentucky's finest educators. Pat Keller, a music 
teacher at Potter Gray Elementary School, was recently named Kentucky 
Elementary Music Teacher of the Year by the Kentucky Music Educators 
Association.
  Pat Keller has done more than teach her south central Kentucky 
students the concepts of music. Through Pat's 15 years as an educator, 
her efforts have instilled a sense of self-confidence that her students 
have benefitted from well beyond the classroom. Pat's students have 
gained the same respect and love for music that their teacher has and 
have also been given the self-assurance to contribute to the field of 
music.
  I am glad that Pat Keller chose to be a teacher in the Commonwealth 
of Kentucky and it is a source of great pride to call attention to her 
excellence. Her contributions have made all the difference in the lives 
of her students.
  The citizens from the Potter Gray Elementary School community are 
fortunate to call Pat Keller one of their own. They should be 
privileged to be served by such a fine educator. Her example should be 
followed by teachers across Kentucky.
