              HONORING JENNY STANSBERRY ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my number one caseworker, 
Jenny Stansberry, who is retiring after 30 years of service to the 
people of east Tennessee. She has been with me since I took office, and 
she also worked for Congressmen Duncan Sr. and Jr. prior to me taking 
Congress in the Second District.
  Jenny and I used to hang out at Brunswick Billiards, and she is a 
dear friend as well as the best employee I could ever ask for. When I 
was running for office, Mr. Speaker, her mom offered me a Coca-Cola and 
she always regretted that she never allowed me to use her bathroom. She 
has always been very kind to me. She drove a cool GMC Acadia back in 
the day that was quite fetching in the Brunswick Billiards parking lot.
  She is best known for her work with veterans and active military 
members, but she has helped thousands of east Tennesseans deal with 
basically every Federal agency issue you can think of, and she does it 
all with a warm smile that lights up the room.

  This picture beside me is her farewell surprise, a poster we made of 
her with one of the loves of her life, Magnum P.I. Although she didn't 
end up with Tom Selleck--my fraternity brother, he went to U.S.C., of 
course, and I went to the University of Tennessee many years later--in 
fact, she never met him, her retirement will allow her to spend more 
time with the actual love of her life, Tony, and her daughter Anne, who 
is just a wonderful, wonderful young lady.
  Jenny, thank you so much for everything you have done for me and the 
folks of east Tennessee. I always appreciate you. You were always good 
to my folks, and you have been my buddy. You will be missed.
