                 HONORING MS. MARILYN MIGLIN OF CHICAGO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANNY K. DAVIS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 22, 2002

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I want to take a few minutes 
today to speak about one of my constituents who is making a most 
remarkable contribution to the people of Chicago and the entire 
Midwest. Marilyn Miglin is involved in an extraordinary range of public 
service activities and maintains a remarkable schedule.
  Ms. Miglin originally suggested the notion of an advisory board for 
the University of Illinois Craniofacial Center in 1987. The 
Craniofacial Center of the University of Illinois provides medical 
services for patients with facial deformities.
  But Marilyn Miglin went far beyond the offer of a suggestion. She 
began volunteering time from her busy schedule to assist the physician 
team at the Craniofacial Center in adding a new dimension to the 
patient services offered by the Department. She began coming regularly 
to the center to see patients with facial deformities and to show them 
how to apply makeup to hide their condition, or to draw attention away 
from the condition.
  Not satisfied with superficial appearance, Ms. Miglin recognized the 
need to go beyond what one could see at the surface, and reached 
patients in a deeper and more profound way: helping each individual 
realize their inner beauty and self worth. Out of this personal growth 
came the renewed confidence and self assurance necessary to deal with 
everyday life;
  Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I am especially pleased to take this 
opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate Marilyn Miglin for her 
support and dedication to the patients and staff of the University of 
Illinois Craniofacial Center.
