                         Thursday, May 21, 2009

  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I am proud to have this opportunity to 
celebrate the retirement of Mauro Luna from the U.S. Probation Service. 
His 22-year career in Laredo exhibits his native and lifelong 
dedication to the city and its people.
  It was at Mary Help of Christians School that Mr. Luna developed his 
high standard of morals and ethics that he later exhibited as an 
officer and supervisor. He brought this leadership to his job everyday, 
and positively impacted those he interacted with through the course of 
a day.
  Mauro Luna found education to be the cornerstone to any successful 
life and career, so after graduating from J.W. Nixon High School he 
went on to earn his degree from the University of Texas-Austin and his 
MBA from Laredo State University. During this time Mr. Luna married 
Maria Martinez and had two children, Marcos and Massiel Melinda.
  Madam Speaker, now after 11 years with the Juvenile Department and 22 
years with the U.S. Probation Office I find great pleasure in wishing 
Mauro Luna a long deserved retirement so he may spend more time with 
his family and hunting.
