                        TRIBUTE TO ELAINE KLINE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 2009

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Elaine Kline, former 
owner and operator of Elaine's Hair Design in Boone, Iowa.
  Elaine has been a hair dresser for 50 years and a permanent makeup 
artist for over 20. She recently decided to hang up her shears and 
retire from owning Elaine's Hair Design after 36 years of business. 
Although she is retiring from the beauty shop, she will continue to do 
makeup as an independent contractor. Now that Elaine has more time on 
her hands, she plans to spend more time with her grandchildren and on 
her artwork, which she hopes to donate much of to her church and Iowa 
Right to Life.
  Elaine has left a permanent mark on the city of Boone as several 
generations have passed through her salon. I know that my colleagues in 
the United States Congress join me in commending Elaine for her service 
to her community. I consider it an honor to represent Elaine Kline in 
Congress, and I wish her a long, happy and healthy future.
