                         Thursday, May 3, 2007

  Mr. BERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise here today to pay tribute to Bly 
Story, an outstanding citizen from Cave City, AR. His recent death was 
a great loss to the community and the State of Arkansas.
  Bly Story was born on October 18th, 1918, at Cave City, Arkansas. 
Story was a WWII U.S. Air Force veteran and a farmer. Story strongly 
believed in giving back to the community, which is why he coached the 
Tuckerman High School baseball team for 8 years, where he led them to 
multiple district championship titles and served as the All-State 
basketball coach for 2 years.
  Story also served on the Riceland Food board of directors from 1957 
to 2005 and the Arkansas Electric Co-op board of directors from 1999 to 
2002.
  Bly Story's service to his community and his Nation go far beyond the 
details enumerated here. He was a great American, a wonderful friend 
and a counselor to me. He will be missed by all who loved him.
