                       A TRIBUTE TO GLORIA CONWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL E. CAPUANO

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 1, 2006

  Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and pay 
tribute to an outstanding woman, Gloria Conway, the long-time editor of 
the Charlestown Patriot. She recently sold this neighborhood weekly, a 
publication that she owned with her husband, Jim, for nearly 40 years.
  Gloria's passion for her neighborhood was evident in the pages of her 
paper and in the various charity events she champions with her husband. 
As editor of The Charlestown Patriot, she would honor a mother's wish 
to recognize a son's first little league homerun with the same 
importance as any news emanating from Washington, DC. Her paper 
creatively balanced a nostalgic tie to Charlestown's historic past 
while also covering today's relevant topics, and it was always done 
with a local flair.
  The Patriot will remain in Charlestown with Gloria Conway as 
Publisher Emeritus. It has a different look and new owners, but the 
decades of positive influence that Gloria Conway provided will endure 
at the Patriot and within the Charlestown community for years to come. 
I wish Gloria, Jim and the entire Conway family all the best in 
whatever the future holds. I want to thank them for their friendship 
and commitment as they recorded Charlestown's most recent history in 
their pages.
