                             HON. ED PASTOR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. PASTOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend recognition to 
Priscilla S. Kuhn, founder and president of Netwest Development Corp., 
in Tucson, for all her work in developing housing for underprivileged 
and low income families, retirees, and children in Arizona's rural 
communities.
  Since 1985, through her work with Netwest, Ms. Kuhn has managed FHA-
insured rental housing for vulnerable constituencies of the State's 
population in addition to housing for entry-level workers. Projects 
developed by Netwest included family-oriented apartments in Kingman and 
Yuma, a retirement center with assisted living in Peoria, and proposed 
projects in Casa Grande and Bullhead City.
  I would also like to share a little about Mrs. Kuhn's background and 
years of devotion to community development. Mrs. Kuhn was born in 
Chicago, IL, in 1941 and grew up in Elburn, IL. She attended the 
University of Denver in Colorado and received a master of science 
degree from the University of Arizona. She is married and has three 
children and one grandchild.
  Besides her work with Netwest, Ms. Kuhn has been a district 
representative for Representative Jim McNulty, a district manager for 
the U.S. Census Bureau, southern Arizona field representative for 
Senator Dennis DeConcini, executive director for the YMCA of Tucson, 
communications coordinator for the Department of Urban Resources for 
Tucson and a public school teacher.
  She served on various boards and organizations such as president of 
the Amity Foundation, the Tucson Airport Authority, the Assisted Living 
Facilities Association of America, the Arizona Academy and the Yuma 
Crossing Foundation.
  Finally, I would like to commend Ms. Kuhn for her long list of 
achievements, which have included induction into the Lafrontera Hall of 
Fame, the Amity Foundation Friendship Circle Award, and a United Way 
Volunteer Award.
