TRIBUTE TO STEVEN BENTLEY

______

HON. ROBERT A. WEYGAND

of rhode island

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, April 8, 1997

Mr. WEYGAND. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to pay tribute
to an exceptional young man, Mr. Steven Bentley, who has devoted much
hard-earned effort to achieving the Boy Scout's highest rank of Eagle
Scout. This award reflects great initiative, determination, and hard
work.
Steven received his Eagle Scout badge by completing sorely needed
renovations to Old St. Mary's Church hall, one of the oldest Roman
Catholic churches in Rhode Island.
Steven is an example of the best of America's youth, those dedicated
to improving life in their community and who strive to reach their
highest potential.
The 16-year-old son of Bruce and Patricia Bentley, Steven resides in
West Warwick, RI, where he is a student at West Warwick High School. I
am sure his parents are extremely proud of their son's achievement. I
have confidence that the Boy Scouts have prepared him to face life's
challenges with great determination and character. On behalf of the
people of Rhode Island, I would like to thank Steven for his service to
the community and wish him great success in the future.
