  TRIBUTE TO MR. RANDY BERRYHILL OF THE MUSCLE SHOALS FIRE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. ROBERT E. (BUD) CRAMER, JR.

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2001

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Mr. 
Randy Berryhill of Muscle Shoals, Alabama as he retires on December 1, 
2001. Mr. Berryhill has been a very special member of the Muscle Shoals 
Fire Department for 30 years. He was hired on June 19, 1971 by the City 
of Muscle Shoals as a custodian for the Fire Department, but has 
assumed a much larger role over the years. Mr. Berryhill is 
handicapped, but has not let that stop him from greatly expanding his 
responsibilities at the department. He picks up the mail, raises and 
lowers the flag on a daily basis, and performs various other tasks that 
are crucial to efficiently running the department.
  Mr. Berryhill is very active in the Muscle Shoals community as well 
as the Fire Department. He is a member of the Woodward Avenue Baptist 
Church Choir, an avid supporter of the Muscle Shoals High School 
Football and Basketball teams, and a fervent fan of the University of 
Alabama. Mr. Berryhill's dedicated service will be greatly missed by 
the Fire Department, but I am confident that he will remain an active 
member of the Muscle Shoals community during his well-earned 
retirement.
