                      Thursday, September 9, 2004

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Agnes Fronckowiak 
of Slavic Village, as she gathers with family and friends to 
commemorate her September 4th birthday, 90 years young, and as lively 
as ever.
  With family central to her life, Mrs. Fronckowiak and her late 
husband, Casimir, raised 4 children, and taught them the significance 
of family, faith and giving back to the community. Today, these close 
family ties continue on with each new generation, as Mrs. Fronckowiak 
is blessed with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  Beyond caring for her family, Mrs. Fronckowiak has been an involved 
member of the community, and continues to dedicate her time and talents 
in service to others, efforts which are reflected throughout Slavic 
Village. She was a long-time member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary 
Parent Teacher Union and held the position of President of the St. 
Stan's Golden Agers for nearly 25 years. As an active member of the 
Golden Agers, Mrs. Fronckowiak plans and organizes senior trips and 
events. Her energy, agility and joy for living serve as a significant 
example that life's possibilities and joys abound for each of us, 
regardless of our age.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor of Mrs. Agnes 
Fronckowiak, as we gather together to celebrate her 90th birthday. Mrs. 
Fronckowiak continues to be an inspiration to everyone in her life--
especially to her family and friends. Her loyalty, friendship, 
convictions, boundless energy, and good works are invaluable gifts that 
she gives freely, and her dedication has uplifted the neighborhoods, 
churches and schools of Slavic Village. We wish her many blessings of 
continued health and happiness today, and all days to follow.
