                         HONORING PAT LATRONICA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
a very distinguished woman, Pat LaTronica of Pueblo, Colorado. Mrs. 
LaTronica passed away July 3, 2000 at the age of 62. She was best known 
for her work at a local restaurant as well as her charity work. With 
her warm heart and great eye for classy fashion, she brought a smile to 
patrons of her restaurant, no matter their age or background.
  In addition to her work at the restaurant, Mrs. LaTronica was also an 
enthusiastic volunteer in her community. If it wasn't helping serve 
holiday dinners to those less fortunate, it was working hard on the 
board of directors of the Salvation Army. No matter the time of year, 
this wonderful woman could be found bringing smiles to the faces of 
citizens through her considerable volunteer efforts.
  Mrs. LaTronica brought a spirit of joy to all of those around her no 
matter where or what she was doing. It is this sense of joy and 
happiness that will be missed, but not soon forgotten.
  Ms. LaTronica was a great citizen and an even better person. She will 
be greatly missed by friends, family and the citizens of Pueblo.
