                       IN HONOR OF ADRIENNE JONES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 2006

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to Adrienne Jones, who was awarded the 2006 New Castle 
County Delaware Chamber of Commerce's William V. Roth, Jr. Citizenship 
Award. The late Senator Roth would have been extremely proud to see the 
award which bears his name go to such a deserving individual.
  Adrienne has been described by her guidance counselor at A.I. DuPont 
High School in Wilmington, Delaware as ``scholarly, mature, focused and 
friendly.'' Senator Roth conducted his business in a focused manner but 
always went about it in a friendly way. This is why he was able to do 
so much for so many people across our great nation.
  Adrienne has exhibited an excellent academic record in her high 
school studies. She possesses an outstanding work ethic and selected a 
quite rigorous college-preparatory curriculum including three advanced 
placement courses and eleven honors level courses. She also committed 
to the study of two foreign languages, Spanish and Latin. By the time 
she graduates, Adrienne will have completed seven years of foreign 
language study.
  While maintaining a full study schedule, Adrienne finds significant 
time to contribute to her community. Senator Roth was well known in 
Delaware for his tireless work on behalf of his constituents. Adrienne 
has earned this award by dedicating herself to community organizations 
such as the A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children, the National Youth 
Leadership Forum on Medicine, and the Delaware Community Foundation's 
Youth Philanthropy Board.
  I congratulate and thank Adrienne for all she has contributed to the 
State of Delaware. She is an exemplary citizen and a proud American. 
Senator Roth would have been extremely pleased with the work Adrienne 
has done to help her fellow Delawareans, just as I am today.
