        TRIBUTE TO MS. KATHRYN WOOD-BACHER OF PENN YAN, NEW YORK

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. JOHN R. ``RANDY'' KUHL, JR.

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 19, 2007

  Mr. KUHL of New York. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the 
achievements of Ms. Kathryn Wood-Bacher as President of the Yates 
County American Legion Auxiliary in New York. Kathryn has devoted many 
hours to serving our veterans as a mental health counselor, making 
herself available to them night and day, whenever they are in need of 
assistance.
  Recently, Yates County endorsed Kathryn for the position of Seventh 
District Vice President, and because of her tireless dedication and 
good work, she will most likely be elected to this office at the New 
York Department Convention in Niagara Falls this July.
  Over the years, Kathryn has served as District Junior Coordinator, 
Certified Community Emergency Safety Responder, Fifth generation 
Auxiliary member of the Johnson Costello Unit #355, and of course, 
Yates County President. Kathryn has selflessly devoted her time to 
caring for our veterans, our Nation's bravest heroes who have put 
themselves on the line to defend freedom and democracy, and I am proud 
to recognize her efforts today.
