                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO EDGAR E. LEWIS

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Edgar E. Lewis of Golden Valley County for his 
contributions and impact to the Golden Valley community.
  Edgar is a lifelong Montanan. Born on his family ranch in Lavina, he 
is the youngest of seven kids. Edgar began running the ranch at a young 
age after his older brothers went off to fight in World War II. It 
would take Edgar and his father 5 days to move their cattle to the 
summer grazing range. These trips made Edgar fall in love with ranching 
and are what made him become a lifelong rancher.
  Edgar's heart for his country and community is clear in the ways he 
has served. Edgar served his country during the Korean war. After the 
war, he settled down and bought his current ranch, just north of the 
Snowy Mountains. He served on the board of directors on the Montana 
Livestock Ag Credit from 1986-1998. Edgar also served as the Golden 
Valley commissioner from 1989-2002.
  At 86, Edgar encapsulates the Montana cowboy spirit that brings so 
much character to our great State. I thank Edgar for giving back to his 
community and for continuing the tradition of the Montana 
cowboy.
