              ERNEST AND LOUISE ANITA EVANS ROMERO TRIBUTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 15, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ernest and Louise 
Anita Evans Romero, of Pueblo Colorado. Mrs. Romero, a very successful 
nurse for many years, passed away in 1994 but is remembered by the 
immensely successful scholarship fund created by Mr. Romero in her 
honor.
  The Romero Nurse Scholarship Fund awards grants to St. Mary-Corwin 
nurses so that they might study more advanced nursing techniques. The 
Fund has given 17 scholarships to St. Mary-Corwin nurses since it was 
created. It is an appropriate honor for those who display the same 
talent and dedication to nursing as Louise Romero did for so many 
years.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Romero for 
their longtime service to the community. Through the Fund created by 
Ernest Romero, deserving nurses will be able to pursue the same 
excellence Louise Romero strived towards during her life. There is no 
doubt their impact will be felt in Colorado for many years.
