                      TRIBUTE TO MARY KAY FORSYTH

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 100th 
birthday of Mary Kay Forsyth, originally of Bozeman, MT. She was born 
in the middle of Main Street under a firetruck on April 24, 1918, and 
she has been setting off alarms ever since.
  Mary Kay spent her formative years in Missoula where her father, 
Clyde P. Fickes, was the head the U.S. Forest Service Region 1 office. 
Soon after graduating from the University of Montana in 1941 with a 
double major in journalism and pre-medicine, Mary Kay married 
professional hockey player, Albert J.C. Forsyth of Wainwright, Alberta. 
They soon moved to Seattle to help the war effort. At the conclusion of 
the war, Mr. and Mrs. Forsyth and their growing family settled in 
Coronado, CA.
  Mary Kay spent her life dedicated to the improvement of her 
community. Her public service and spirit is an example to others and is 
admired by all who know her.
  Mary Kay has a loving family of four children, six grandchildren, and 
four great-grandchildren. I, along with her family and friends, wish 
Mary Kay a very happy 100th birthday.
