[Congressional Record Volume 140, Number 45 (Thursday, April 21, 1994)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [Congressional Record: April 21, 1994] From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] ELEANOR KRATZER IS A LIVING LEGEND ______ HON. RICK SANTORUM of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Thursday, April 21, 1994 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. Speaker, it is truly special when a community finds the opportunity to pay tribute to a worthy citizen. I am honored to join in such a tribute for Eleanor Kratzer, a woman of extraordinary energy and talent with an unswerving commitment to her community. The list of people who have been touched in some way by Eleanor Kratzer's giving is unending. Throughout the years, Eleanor has contributed her leadership efforts to such organizations as the McKeesport Pre-School for Exceptional Children, the Women's Club of McKeesport, the Mon-Yough Unit of the American Cancer Society, the McKeesport Area Thiel College Women's Club, the YWCA board, the Semper Fidelis Club, and many others. She has also worked throughout her life with the Girl Scouts and Hadassah. Currently, Eleanor is a trustee of the YWCA, a member of the Salvation Army Corps advisory board, the McKeesport Symphony Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the 20th Century Club, among others. Frankly, her generous efforts are so numerous and extensive that even this forum provides insufficient space to appraise them. As a professional journalist and an editor with the McKeesport Daily News in McKeesport, PA, Eleanor had the opportunity to share her insight with readers throughout the Mon Valley. Her work as a journalist has earned her the considerable respect and admiration of both her colleagues and readership. Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Eleanor Kratzer's contributions to her community deserve our highest accolades and profound admiration. I join her friends, colleagues, and family in saluting her. ____________________
