                        TRIBUTE TO PAT TROUTNER

                                 ______


                            HON. RICK WHITE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 5, 1996

  Mr. WHITE. Mr. Speaker, my home is in the First District of 
Washington State. In my district, we are blessed to have thousands and 
thousands of people who volunteer--day after day--to make our 
communities stronger, safer and better.
  That is why I want to take a minute today to recognize Pat Troutner 
of Silverdale. Pat's tireless commitment to her community has earned 
her the Kitsap County Bremerton Health Department's Volunteer of the 
Year award.
  Giving is not a new concept to Pat Troutner. For years she has been 
caring for and giving support to terminally ill AIDS patients. While 
she has lost many friends she refuses to become discouraged. Instead, 
she focuses her energies on listening, educating, sharing, and helping. 
She is more than just a volunteer--she is a friend.
  Today, I want to say thank you to Pat Troutner for all she has done, 
and will continue to do, for our community.
