                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 13, 1999

  Mr. FARR of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a beloved 
local entrepreneur. Candy Coonerty, co-owner of Bookshop Santa Cruz, 
died this last July of a stroke at the age of 49.
  Candy was more than just a local businesswoman; she provided the 
community with an eclectic and unique selection of books as well as an 
environment where local community members could meet and interact. 
Bookshop Santa Cruz serves as a hub and mainstay of the historic 
downtown. Candy was also actively involved in the community serving on 
the board of directors of Friends of the UC Santa Cruz Library and 
advisory council of the Santa Cruz Hillel Foundation.
  Candy Coonerty will be sorely missed and remembered for her presence 
in the Santa Cruz community as a local hostess and her compassion for 
literature. My thoughts are with her family.
