  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Beverly Thornton Kemery, of Bedford, Iowa for being 
awarded the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Bedford Area Chamber.
  Beverly has been a lifelong resident of Bedford and has raised a 
family of four sons, 15 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. She 
held offices with the Bedford Lioness Club, has been a sponsor for the 
Young Mothers at Heart, and was a Sunday school teacher. Beverly is 
also a member of the Red Hat Society and the Bedford Northside 
Apartments.
  Mr. Speaker, Beverly's efforts embody the Iowa spirit and I am 
honored to represent her, and constituents like her, in the United 
States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Beverly for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing her nothing but continued success.
