  Mr. SMITH of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect for the 
outstanding record of excellence she has compiled in academics, 
leadership and community service, that I am proud to salute Bobby Jo 
Ludwick, winner of the 2004 LeGrand Smith Scholarship. This award is 
given to young adults who have demonstrated their true commitment to 
playing an important role in our Nation's future.
  As a winner of the LeGrand Smith Scholarship, Bobby Jo is being 
honored for demonstrating the same generosity of spirit, intelligence, 
responsible citizenship, and capacity for human service that 
distinguished the late LeGrand Smith of Somerset, Michigan.
  Bobby Jo is an exceptional student at Bronson High School. Aside from 
being at the top of her class academically, Bobby Jo possesses an 
outstanding record of achievement in high school. She is very active in 
the National Honor Society, F.F.A., 4-H, and student government. She 
has also devoted a great deal of her time to volunteering with a 
variety of different civic organizations.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to join her many 
admirers in extending our highest praise and congratulations to Bobby 
Jo Ludwick for her selection as winner of the 2004 LeGrand Smith 
Scholarship. This honor not only recognizes her efforts, but is also a 
testament to the parents, teachers, and other individuals whose 
personal interest, strong support, and active participation contributed 
to her success. To this remarkable young woman, we extend our most 
heartfelt good wishes for all her future endeavors.
