                       Tuesday, November 12, 2019

  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Ann and Vince Bellis of Greenville, North Carolina.
  In October of this year they were honored by the Friends of 
Greenville Greenways for their efforts to champion, create, and expand 
the family-friendly walking, running and biking space. They have given 
countless hours over several years to the fulfillment of this 
community-enhancing project.
  This couple have been honored for a lifetime of civic engagement, 
their incredible technical knowledge of the environment including a 
plethora of horticultural expertise and for unselfishly sharing that 
knowledge with the community.
  Many citizens of Greenville daily enjoy the Greenway and I applaud 
the work of the Bellis' in making what was once just an idea into a 
beautiful reality for the betterment of our city.
