      HONORING SHANE REEVES AS TENNESSEE'S SMALL-BUSINESS CHAMPION

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2006

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Rutherford 
County's Shane Reeves as Tennessee's recipient of the National 
Federation of Independent Business' 2006 Small-Business Champion award.
  Shane, a partner in the Reeves-Sain Family of Medical Services, comes 
from good stock. His mother, the former Carolyn Boatwright, got me off 
to a fine start as my seventh grade student teacher at Hobgood. I also 
enjoyed working with his father, Richard Reeves, a progressive voice 
for Murfreesboro for many years while he served on the Murfreesboro 
City Council and as the city's mayor.
  Shane has been a strong leader in Reeves-Sain's success. With two 
locations in my hometown of Murfreesboro, the company has become the 
leading provider of pharmaceutical and healthcare services in the area. 
Since its creation in 1980, Reeves-Sain has grown from a small 
healthcare business into a multi-million dollar corporation, all the 
while maintaining its hometown appeal.
  Reeves-Sain strives to deliver comprehensive customer care to all 
patients and to uphold Christian values in the workplace, and Shane has 
been instrumental in making that goal a reality. Shane has been the 
recipient of numerous accolades, including University of Tennessee's 
1998 Co-Preceptor of the year award, Tennessee's 2000 Most Innovative 
Pharmacy Award and Tennessee's 2003 Distinguished Young Pharmacist 
award.
  Active in the community, Shane chairs NFIB/Tennessee's Leadership 
Council and works with NFIB/Tennessee's SAFE trust. He also serves as a 
board member of the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce and is past 
president of Leadership Rutherford. Shane serves as a deacon at North 
Boulevard Church of Christ.
  I commend Shane Reeves on his award, as well as his numerous 
accomplishments and involvement within the community. I wish him 
continued success in the future.
