                       Tuesday, November 8, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, John Benson was nominated by Dr. David Mitzel; and
  Whereas, John Benson had an experience on Christmas morning in 1989 
that touched him so deeply he helped establish the ABC Wilson Fund in 
memory of 3 children whose lives were senselessly lost; and
  Whereas, John Benson has worked diligently with the help of others to 
make the ABC Wilson Fund an endowment that is saving lives across 
Muskingum County by providing smoke detectors to all in need.
  Therefore, I join with family, friends and the entire 18th 
Congressional District of Ohio in congratulating John Benson and 
thanking him for his generosity to the people of Muskingum County.
