Mr. President. today I wish to recognize the 80th birthday of Mrs. Ruth Zlolkowski. Ruth Ziolkowski immigrated to South Dakota in 1947 to help Korczak Ziolkowski begin work on the Crazy Horse Memorial sculpture. The two were married in 1950. Since then. Crazy Horse Memorial has made monumental progress with the completion of Crazy Horses face in 1998 and the building of the access road to the top. To this day. Crazy Horse receives no Federal grant money. relying solely on Ruths rocksolid dedication to fundraising. As a result of this dedication. Mrs. Ziolkowski has been presented with countless awards and honors over the years.
