         REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF JOSEPH AND JOSEPHINE MENGONI

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
lives of two outstanding Georgians, Joseph and Josephine Mengoni, who 
passed away last month only a day apart and after 63 years of marriage.
  Mr. Mengoni dedicated his life to practicing pharmacy, advancing the 
profession in Georgia for both pharmacists and their patients. He 
practiced retail pharmacy for nearly a decade before serving as vice 
president of the Georgia Pharmacy Association, becoming a certified 
diabetes instructor, and being the chairman of the board for DataRX 
Management. His work is exemplified by his creation of a program that 
helped pharmacists help their patients to quit smoking.

  Mrs. Mengoni devoted her life to her husband and raising their three 
children. She was deeply involved with the 4-H Club and even started 
the 4-H Club location in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she lived for a 
number of years.
  Mr. and Mrs. Mengoni, their children, and other family members will 
be in my thoughts and prayers.
