  Mr. DURBIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mary Blotna, 
Postmaster at Piasa, IL, in honor of her retirement from the U.S. 
Postal Service. For over 31 years, Mary Blotna has been working to 
enhance the quality of mail delivery in the United States and the 
quality of life in her community.
  In addition to a long and successful tenure with the U.S. Postal 
System, she has been an active member of the National Association of 
Postmasters of the United States, serving as both State President and 
National Vice President. Mary has served in the Chamber of Commerce and 
the PTA, has volunteered for the Salvation Army and the Heart Fund, 
served as an advisor to the local 4-H Club, and has been a long-time 
Sunday School teacher.
  Mr. Speaker, Mary Blotna is one of the most dedicated public servants 
I know, both on and off the job. She is to be congratulated for her 
many past successes and her continuing contributions to her community.
