                       TRIBUTE TO TIMMYE CROWLEY

 Mr. DAINES. Madam President, today I have the distinct honor 
of recognizing Timmye Crowley of the U.S. Postal Service in Yellowstone 
County for her dedication to serving her fellow Montanans and a unique 
act of kindness that saved a man's life.
  Timmye has worked for the U.S. Postal Service for more than 20 years, 
delivering countless letters and packages to the people of Montana. 
Recently, on her day off, she decided to extend a helping hand during 
this busy season by making additional deliveries along her normal 
route. As she approached a house which she knew belonged to an elderly 
resident, she decided to walk up to the front door to personally 
deliver this man's mail, in an effort to avoid the man potentially 
falling on the icy sidewalks, which are a common sight during Montana 
winters.
  Upon reaching the front door, Timmye realized smoke was billowing out 
of the house and suspected there was a fire inside. She saw through the 
window that the man was asleep in a chair and promptly began pounding 
on the door to wake him up to ensure he would not get hurt. The man was 
hard of hearing, so he was unaware of the smoke detector alarms. He 
soon woke up and walked to the front door as Timmye called 9-1-1. First 
responders arrived on the scene shortly, and the man was no longer in 
danger.
  Thanks to Timmye's efforts, a potentially fatal outcome was avoided. 
It is my distinct honor to recognize Timmye Crowley for her passion and 
willingness to go the extra mile serving the Billings community. Keep 
up the great work, Timmye. You make Montana proud.
