                  PAYING TRIBUTE TO FLORENCE FRIGETTO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before this body of Congress today 
to recognize the twenty-two years of service that Florence Frigetto has 
dedicated to the children of Montrose, Colorado. Florence is retiring 
after having served as the Director of Food Service for the Montrose 
County School District for the last thirteen years. As we mark her 
retirement, I would like to commend Florence for the devotion that she 
has shown to her students over the years.
  Florence became the district's food service administrator after 
making meals from scratch for the local schools for nearly a decade. 
Florence's co-workers estimate that she has served or supervised nearly 
thirteen million meals over her career. In her time as a food service 
administrator, she has focused on maintaining the quality of the food 
along with its nutritious value. Florence, a respected baker, ensures 
that all the bread eaten by her students is freshly baked in the 
school's kitchen.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the contributions Florence 
Frigetto has made to the health and well being of Colorado's children. 
Florence will certainly be missed by the children under her care, as 
well as by her co-workers who have come to know and admire her 
remarkable dedication. Florence, I wish you all the best in your 
retirement and thank you for your many years of exemplary service.
