             PEGGY WILLIAMS DANIEL: A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT

  (Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable life of Peggy Williams Daniel.
  Peggy was a true friend not only to me, but, really, to everyone she 
met.
  A graduate of Lambeth College and earning her postgraduate degree 
from the University of Memphis, Peggy loved watching and rooting for 
her Memphis Tigers.
  Peggy also knew that her roots were in west Tennessee. She was 
married to a great man, Jimmy Daniel, who predeceased her.
  Peggy was an active leader at the Girl Scouts, a Cub Scout leader, 
and deeply involved in the political process. She and Jimmy worked hard 
to build the Republican Party in west Tennessee; and, frankly, there 
are few people that I can think of who are as patriotic as Peggy. Peggy 
was a true American patriot. She loved wearing her red, white, and 
blue.
  Peggy's daughter, Melanie, summed it up best when she said: ``Peggy 
Williams Daniel entered this world with a star-spangled bang and has 
showered all with her firecracker wit and enthusiastic energy 
throughout her colorful life.''
  Peggy leaves behind her three children, my friends: Mike, Melanie, 
and Drew. We will all deeply miss Peggy but know that her spirit lives 
on.
