                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. ROBERT E. (BUD) CRAMER, JR.

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 29, 2003

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an important 
member of my North Alabama community upon her retirement, Ms. Pat 
Schrimsher King. After more than 33 years of combined service with the 
McDonnell Douglas Corporation and the Boeing Company, Pat is retiring 
on January 31, 2003. Throughout her tenure, Pat has provided the 
leadership and guidance necessary for the success of many projects at 
the company and in her community.
  One of Pat's major accomplishments during her time at Boeing is 
administrating the Boeing Employees Community Fund, ECF. Through her 
direction, the ECF has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to health 
and human service agencies throughout North Alabama. I commend Pat King 
for her coordination of this initiative that has helped bring North 
Alabama business together with the community to help make our region an 
even better place to live and work.
  Pat will be missed by her many friends and fellow employees at 
Boeing, but I know she will remain active, continuing to work on a 
variety of projects that improve and enhance our community. I commend 
Pat for the inspiration she has given to her friends, family, and 
colleagues and for all that she has done to benefit the people of North 
Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I join the North Alabama community today in 
wishing Pat a happy and healthy retirement and sending her my sincere 
congratulations for a job well done.
