                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 8, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Verda Jones was nominated by Ms. Susan Urano of the Athens 
Foundation; and
  Whereas, Verda Jones saw what the potential of the goodwill from a 
few dedicated citizens could lead to; and
  Whereas, Verda Jones inspired many to contribute to what would 
eventually become the Athens Foundation, an endowment for the benefit 
of Athens.
  Therefore, I join with family, friends and the entire 18th 
Congressional District of Ohio in congratulating Mrs. Verda C. Jones 
and thanking her for her generosity to the Athens community.
