  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a constituent of 
mine, Mrs. Ramona Bax on her retirement after 50 years of employment 
with the Bank of St. Elizabeth. Mrs. Bax has been a constant friendly 
face during her years working at the bank. The patrons, management, and 
her co-workers will miss her welcoming personality at the bank.
   Mrs. Bax has been a lifelong resident of the St. Elizabeth community 
and is thankful for the opportunity to live and work in such a great 
town. As a fellow resident of St. Elizabeth, we are also thankful to 
have her as a friend, neighbor, and member of our community. In her 
spare time, Mrs. Bax volunteered her time at the St. Elizabeth school 
during the years her children attended and also while her grandchildren 
attend the school. She is also an active member of St. Lawrence 
Catholic Church. The entire community has benefited from her 
volunteering spirit.
   Mrs. Bax has been married to her husband, Richard, for 56 years. 
They have four children, John, Charles, Glenn, and Stacy, and are the 
proud grandparents of ten grandchildren and great-grandparents of three 
great-grandchildren. With her retirement, Mrs. Bax will be able to 
enjoy more time with her wonderful family.
   I ask you to join me in recognizing Mrs. Ramona Bax on her 
retirement. The commitment she has shown to the Bank of St. Elizabeth 
for 50 years is a commendable accomplishment. It is an honor to 
represent her in the United States Congress.
