  IN HONOR OF THE DONATION OF JOSEPH SCHIPRETT TO THE LONSDALE PUBLIC 
                                LIBRARY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KLINE

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 27, 2010

  Mr. KLINE of Minnesota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
generosity of a benevolent donation to benefit the community of 
Lonsdale, Minnesota.
  The Lonsdale public library is now home to a text enlarger that 
returns the gift of reading to those whose eyes aren't as sharp as they 
once were. Estimated to cost $1,800, this gift was made possible by 
Joseph Schiprett, a Lonsdale resident. Joseph purchased the machine for 
his wife who was losing her eyesight due to Diabetes. Helen, who never 
lost her love for reading, passed away in 2007, at which time Joseph 
shared this gift with the entire Lonsdale community.
  As the Senior Republican on the Education and Labor Committee, I 
commend Mr. Schiprett for his selfless donation and investment in the 
continuing education of the Lonsdale community.
