  WHEREAS,  George  Denys and his family moved to Unadilla eight years
ago, and shortly thereafter, became vital and involved  participants  of

title of Town Supervisor, where he is dedicated to making his hometown a
better place to live, work and play; and

  WHEREAS, A proud Air Force  veteran  stationed  in  both  Korea  and

their two children, Julie and George, all of whom have  shown  him  love
and support and rejoice in his many achievements; and

enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown  a
long  and  sustained  commitment to excellence certainly have earned the
recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it
