                                 ______
                                 

                   TRIBUTE TO DR JOYCE TURNER KELLER

 Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and 
thank Dr. Joyce Turner Keller and her organization Aspirations for 20 
years in the fight to end HIV/AIDS.
  Aspirations' mission is to serve the needs of hurting people, 
regardless of race, creed, gender, age, or social class affected by the 
HIV/AIDS virus. Established in 2001, they have provided a much needed 
service to our region by providing free testing, education, support 
groups, and numerous other options to those who are fighting this 
virus. Its founder, Dr. Joyce Turner Keller, has made it her life's 
mission to be a face of the invisible that are living and surviving 
with HIV/AIDS.
  As a doctor, I treated uninsured HIV/AIDS patients and saw firsthand 
the pain this disease can cause. Dr. Joyce Turner Keller has used her 
God-given talents to care for the underserved and the stigmatized. I 
commend her on her work and the work of Aspirations these last 20 
years.
