                        TRIBUTE TO BONNIE WELLS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 5, 1998

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bonnie Wells, a 
dedicated community leader who is being honored as an inductee into the 
San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Bonnie Wells has devoted her entire professional and personal life to 
helping those in need. The trauma of being abandoned at birth by her 
mother and spending the five years of her life in an orphanage has 
given her a unique sense of the needs of others in difficult 
situations. Ms. Wells established the North San Mateo County Leadership 
Forum which provides community leaders with background on the 
operations of their community. She has served as a member of the Child 
Care Coordinating Council of San Mateo County, including two years as 
its President, and has received several awards for her service to city 
and county government, United Way of the Bay Area, Seton Medical Center 
and other community organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, Bonnie Wells is an outstanding citizen and I salute her 
for her remarkable contributions and commitment to our community. I ask 
my colleagues to join me in honoring and congratulating her on being 
inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
