                      TRIBUTE TO DR. LOUIE BAROZZI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 1998

  Mr. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to make a special tribute to 
Dr. Louie Barozzi in honor of his retirement as the Director of 
International Programs and Student Services at San Jose State 
University.
  He has brought a wealth of knowledge, sensitivity, charm, and service 
to the university and community in the 30 years he served at San Jose 
State--the only place he has ever worked, in fact.
  Louie started at the university in 1968 as an Advisor at Large. On 
his way to becoming Director of International Programs and Student 
Services he served as Counselor in Counseling Services and Chair of the 
Academic Senate.
  There are not enough adjectives to describe Louie Barozzi. Some of 
the most apt include kind, thoughtful, insightful, caring, sensitive, 
hard-working, conscientious, flexible, eternally optismistic, generous, 
wise, humorous, witty, sympathetic, and friendly.
  Louie is always willing to lend a helping hand and make time for 
those in need. He has been a mentor to many, serving as a surrogate 
father to students and a wonderful father to his own children. His 
wonderful sense of humor has helped carry others through difficult 
situations, and his ability to convey wisdom without being imposing has 
served him and students well over the years.
  Louie is a wonderful asset to San Jose State and our entire 
community, and I am proud to extend to him my most heartfelt good 
wishes in honor of his retirement.
