                      TRIBUTE TO DELORES M. HANDY

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                  in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 2005

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the hard work 
and dedication of one of the constituents in my district. Delores M. 
Handy has been a valuable employee of the Acadia Parish Tax Assessor's 
Office for over 3 decades. On June 30th, 2005, she will retire after 33 
years of service to her community.
  This woman, affectionately known as Dee, has become a friendly face 
in local government. The most common phrase used to describe her is 
``tremendous asset.'' Working at the counter in the Assessor's Office, 
she will always be remembered as a woman who greeted every customer 
with a smile and an offer to help them solve whatever problems they 
were facing. Through the years, she has developed friendships with 
people from every walk of life and no one left her office without 
feeling like she had done everything possible to serve their needs.
  I join the residents of Acadia Parish, along with the people of the 
7th District, in thanking Delores Handy for her contribution to making 
Southwest Louisiana a great place to live. She is a fine example of 
what is right in our government and will be missed.
