  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I would like to include 
in the Record the following obituary for distinguished South 
Carolinian, Raymond A. Denny, Jr.:

       Raymond Denny, former sales executive in the electronics 
     industry, passed away October 26 in Greenville. Born in New 
     York City September 18, 1930, he was the son of Raymond and 
     Hazel Ladner Denny. He graduated from Iona College, where he 
     was a member of the 1954 championship debating team and 
     President of the Young Republicans of NY.
       He developed his business career with Union Carbide as 
     sales manager for consumer products. His position as the 
     first sales manager of Kemet Electronics brought him from 
     Ohio to Greenville, later declaring he did not plan to live 
     anywhere else. He later founded Electronic Marketing 
     Associates, a successful electronics sales firm covering the 
     south.
       He was a lifelong member of Toastmasters, the English 
     Speaking Union; and a member of the Furman University 
     Learning in Retirement program, lecturing on cathedral 
     history and the origins of Christianity in England. He was a 
     member of First Presbyterian Church of Greenville. He is 
     survived by his wife of 64 years, Peggy; sons Robert of 
     Raleigh and Tony (Beverly) of Columbia; and grandchildren 
     Leah Grace and Marshall Denny.
