        FRIENDS, FAMILY MOURN LOSS OF MILTON'S SARAH DIPASQUALE

                                 ______


                        HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, August 8, 1994

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, Sarah J. DiPasquale of Milton, NY, recently 
passed away, leaving a void in the hearts of everybody who had the 
pleasure of knowing her.
  Her contributions were enormous, not only to her community, but to me 
personally in my campaigns for Congress.
  She was a tireless worker in Saratoga County and made valuable 
contributions to my elections to Congress. But she was best known for 
her service in a variety of elected and appointed positions, and for 
her leadership role in projects that made Milton a nicer place to live.
  Sarah DiPasquale was the first woman ever elected to the Milton Town 
Council, where she served on the Committees for Highways and for Parks 
and Buildings. She was chairwoman for the town of Milton's bicentennial 
gala and also handled publicity for the event. She also served on the 
town's planning board.
  With the Republican Party, she served as a town committeeman, as 
secretary of the Saratoga County Republican Committee, and on the board 
of directors of the Saratoga County Women's Republican Club.
  Aside from her officials positions, she was the driving force in 
creating a walkway around the Milton Town Park.
  Her selfless dedication to the community was matched by her similar 
dedication to her family. Mr. Speaker, I've found that this is quite 
typical of people who are pillars of their communities. People who give 
of themselves to their communities also give of themselves to their 
families.
  I share her family's grief, because someone like Sarah DiPasquale 
cannot be replaced. The love she had for her family and friends was 
reciprocated many times over.
  Mr. Speaker, America was made great by the quiet, unheralded 
contributions of people like Sarah DiPasquale. I ask all members to 
join me in a posthumous tribute to a remarkable women I was pleased to 
call a friend, and in conveying our heartfelt sympathies to her family.
