  Mr. LOUDERMILK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a good 
friend, Mrs. Barbara Hickey, a woman who has devoted her life to 
improving the lives of individuals in her community.

  Barbara grew up in Niagara Falls, New York, the oldest of five 
children, and has been politically active since high school. Marrying a 
soldier curtailed her opportunity to run for public office, but after 
twenty-seven years in the U.S. Army traveling and living overseas and 
across the United States, they came to the state of Georgia and became 
active in Republican politics. Barbara and her husband, Jim, moved to 
Cobb County in 2001 and reside in Mableton. Barbara and Jim have four 
children and four grandchildren. Among her many accomplishments, 
Barbara founded The Etiquette School of Atlanta, where she teaches 
classes and workshops to enhance personal effectiveness for adults and 
children. She has served as a consultant at NASA Headquarters in 
Washington, D.C., the United States Department of Agriculture, and as a 
Master Trainer for the Army Family Team Building Program. Barbara has 
served her community and state tirelessly as an integral part of many 
organizations, such as the South Cobb Business Association, Cobb County 
Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Federation of Republican Women, Cobb 
County Republican Women's Club, and the Cobb County Republicans, among 
others. On behalf of the people of Georgia's 11th Congressional 
District and the United States House of Representatives, I commend 
Barbara Hickey for her many years of outstanding, dedicated and 
effective service.
