                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 29, 2004

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to honor and pay tribute to Joanne Glauser upon her nomination as a 
Jefferson Award finalist. Mrs. Glauser is the co-founder of the 
Delaware chapter of Shoes That Fit and truly exemplifies the American 
spirit. After reading an article about children who were too poor to 
have clothes that fit properly, Joanne decided to take action. Five 
years later, she was named ``top volunteer in the nation'' by the 
executive director of Shoes That Fit.
  In only the last 4 years, Mrs. Glauser's chapter has provided over 
35,000 items to needy children in Delaware. Her selflessness and 
dedication have touched the lives of thousands who may otherwise have 
gone without.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate Mrs. Glauser upon her 
nomination as a finalist for the Jefferson Award. May she continue to 
serve as an example to us all.
