                        ROLLA NOLTING McCLANAHAN

 Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to a wonderful 
Ohioan who has recently been ill. Rolla Nolting McClanahan never asked 
for anything special, but she deserves to be recognized today for the 
years she has spent generously serving others. Throughout her life, 
Rolla has been a productive, giving member of her community who quietly 
contributed a great deal both to her hometown of Cincinnati, and to her 
home county, Hamilton County. Rolla is the kind of American who makes 
up the backbone of our country.
  Rolla is the beloved wife of Donald E. McClanahan, mother of Michele 
L. McClanahan, and sister of John A. Nolting.
  As a student, Rolla was very bright. She graduated with honors from 
both Withrow High School and the University of Cincinnati, where she 
was active in Mortar Board, Delta Delta Delta, the Cincinnatus Society, 
and the Union Committee.
  After graduation, Rolla became involved in her community as a member 
of Kindervelt, a volunteer organization that serves as the largest 
auxiliary of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. She was 
also Chairman of the Board of Directors of Deaconesses of the Mt. 
Washington Presbyterian Church and Chairman of the Board of Directors 
of Tri Deltas House Board Corporation.
  Since 1973, Rolla has been a Salvation Army volunteer for the 
Salvation Army Federation of Women's Auxiliaries, where she served in 
several official positions, including President of the Board and 
President of the Toy Shop Auxiliary. In 1987, she was a featured 
speaker at the Salvation Army's National Advisory Organization 
Conference in Dallas. In May of 1993, she was presented with the 
William Booth Award, bestowed by the Salvation Army for commitment and 
dedication.
  Mr. President, Rolla Nolting McClanahan is a wonderful person who has 
spent a great deal of her life working to improve the lives of those 
less fortunate. Today, I want to thank Rolla for her selflessness and 
commitment to others, and wish her well.
