                        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Conde 
Hackbarth, who passed away on June 6 following a 28-year battle with 
cancer.
  Conde Hackbarth was born on August 8, 1937, to Elizabeth and John 
Spaulding. She grew up in Chicago and Winnetka and raised her family in 
Kenilworth and Lake Forest. An accomplished student, she graduated from 
New Trier High School in 1955 and Connecticut College in 1959. Conde 
spent her summers in Harbor Beach, Michigan, at her family cottage, and 
for the past 10 years she was a winter resident of the Ocean Reef 
community in Key Largo, Florida.
  Conde Hackbarth is survived by a loving family including her husband 
Philip, an attorney in Chicago, daughter Elizabeth Sears Smith, son 
Christopher Sears, stepchildren Rory Hackbarth and Philip Hackbarth, 
five grandchildren (Jane, Phineas, Sydney, Neil and Kathryn), and 
Brother Charles Spaulding.
  I ask that my colleagues join me in extending our deepest sympathies 
to the friends and family of Conde Hackbarth in this difficult time, as 
well as praise Conde for the grace, strength, and courage with which 
she waged her battle against cancer. Her life is an inspiration to us 
all.
