               LEHIGH VALLEY HEROS--SHAWN AND KEVIN KELLY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TOOMEY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 16, 1999

  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to share my Report from 
Pennsylvania for my colleagues and the American people.
  All across Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District there are some 
amazing people who do good things to make our communities a better 
place. These are individuals of all ages who truly make a difference 
and help others.
  I like to call these individuals Lehigh Valley Heroes for their good 
deeds and efforts.
  Today I would like to recognize Kevin and Shawn Kelly of Wilson 
Borough as Lehigh Valley Heroes. These young boys have truly made a 
difference in their community.
  Kevin, 8, and his brother Shawn, 11, recently extinguished a fire 
that threatened a nearby home in their community. Recently, they were 
playing outside when they noticed smoke coming from a grassy area near 
their neighbor's home. Kevin and Shawn reacted instantly to douse the 
small fire with water and as a result saved a neighbor's home.
  These brave young boys made a difference in Wilson Borough and 
therefore they are Lehigh Valley Heroes in my book.
  Mr. Speaker, this concludes my Report from Pennsylvania.
