  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today on behalf of the Mt. 
Morris community to pay tribute to the 2004 Mt. Morris Morris Hall of 
Honor inductees. The inductees, Linda Fishell, Jim Corbin, Fredrick 
Shannon, and Judy Neaves will be inducted into the hall on April 29, 
2004, during a lavish dinner and ceremony to be held at the Masonic 
Temple in Mt. Morris, MI.
  The Mt. Morris Hall of Honor was established in 1991. The honor is 
bestowed upon individuals, both residents and nonresidents who have 
made significant, long-term contributions to enhancing the quality of 
life in the Mt. Morris area. Since its creation, the community has 
inducted 31 individuals into the hall.
  Hall of Honor inductee Linda Fishell is committed to the children of 
Mt. Morris. She has been a volunteer with the Girl Scouts of America 
for 20 years, and is currently serving as neighborhood treasurer and 
registrar. Linda is also a volunteer for the Tiger Cubs and Boy Scouts. 
She has been volunteering at the Mt. Morris High School for 
approximately 12 years.
  Hall of Honor inductee Jim Corbin although no longer a resident of 
Mt. Morris still finds time to Give back to the community. He does so 
by donating his D.J. services to Mt. Morris local events, including the 
125th August festival. Jim has been a Mt. Morris volunteer for 15 
years. Hall of Honor inductee Fredrick J. Shannon has been a Mt. Morris 
area volunteer for 30 years. He donates his time and resources at the 
scene of accidents, fires and natural disasters by video taping, and 
photographing the efforts of rescue workers for documentation and 
training purposes. Hall of Honor inductee Judy Neaves is a dedicated 
member of the Mt. Morris Lioness club. She is active on both the local 
and district level. Aside from placing numerous volunteer hours within 
her own chapter, she also volunteers with the men's Lions Club by 
participating in their eye saving events. Judy has also volunteered 
with the Senior Winter Olympic for 12 years, Genesee County Fair for 10 
years, and Crossroad Village.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today and ask my 
colleagues in the 108th Congress to join me in recognizing these 
outstanding citizens for their compassion and commitment to the 
community of Mt. Morris, MI.
