                        RECOGNIZING EDA DiCAPRIO

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eda DiCaprio in 
honor of her 90th birthday. Eda and her twin sister, Eleanor, were born 
on May 10, 1933, in Amsterdam, New York.
  She worked for New York Telephone then General Electric after 
graduating from Wilbur H. Lynch High School.
  In 1956, she gave birth to her daughter, Roberta. An exceptionally 
hardworking and loving mother, Eda worked a number of jobs over the 
years while Roberta was in school, including those at Mohasco, Miles 
Catering, and Lorenzo's on Union Street before working alongside her 
twin sister at Travelers Insurance.
  She joined St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary in 2006 and around the same 
time began volunteering in human resources, where she secured 
employment and continues to work to this day.
  Congratulations to Eda on many decades of committed service to the 
community and a happy 90th birthday.
