TRIBUTE TO EDDIE HUGHES
Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Eddie Hughes on
60 years of service at UPS.
Eddie Hughes was born in Mt. Pleasant, MS, and moved to Indianapolis
to take a job with UPS in 1963. His only hiatus came from 1965-1966,
when Eddie served his country in the U.S. Army. Originally a package
handler, Eddie became a UPS driver in 1968, a position he still holds
to this day. During his 55 years in his current role, Eddie has driven
an estimated 4.62 million miles making deliveries to Hoosiers. He has
joined the company's ``Circle of Honor,'' a distinction given to
drivers who have amassed more than 25 years of safe driving.
Eddie and Mary, his wife of 42 years, live in Indianapolis. They have
two adult children, William and Mary Elizabeth.
It is my honor to congratulate Mr. Hughes and his family on this
remarkable milestone.
