            MICHAEL HENRY DEVLIN MAKES HIS MARK ON THE WORLD

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 23, 2002

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Patrick 
J. Devlin, Sr. of my staff and his wife Helen on the birth of their 
second child, Master Michael Henry Devlin. Michael was born early in 
the morning on Monday, May 20, 2002. He weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces. 
Faye joins me in wishing Pat, Helen and their first son Patrick great 
happiness upon this new addition to their family. I know that the 
gentleman from Kentucky Mr. Lewis joins me in celebrating Michael's 
birth as Helen serves on his staff.
  As the father of three, I know the joy and pride that Pat and Helen 
feel at this special time. And I know that Patrick is excited to have a 
brother with whom he can play. Children remind us of the incredible 
miracle of life and they keep us young-at-heart. Everyday, they show us 
a new way to view the world. Indeed, they are one of the most important 
reasons why we serve in this body, Mr. Speaker.
  I welcome Michael into the world, and wish Pat, Helen, and Patrick 
all the best as they bring Michael into their family.
