                       Tuesday, February 9, 1999

  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, Kathryn Ann Marie George has spent 
almost 27 years as a probation officer for the Juvenile Court, most 
recently as a senior probation officer at the Court's Near West Field 
Office. She has worked with juvenile offenders and their families while 
they are on probation and helps the offenders comply with specific 
court orders in the hope that these troubled children become productive 
adults.
  She remembers fondly the calls she has received from some families 
offering their thanks for her help in dealing with the child's 
problems. And she also numbers her co-workers among her closest friends 
and believes that they, like she, are ``caring, good-hearted, dedicated 
people''.
  She stresses the benefit she has had of a warm and loving family, 
including her parents, Sam and Ann, her brothers, Sam and Mike, and her 
nephews, Michael and Steven, all of whom have stood by her in both good 
and bad times, and she hopes that her efforts can help those assigned 
to her in her profession with the same support she received from her 
family and friends.

  In her spare time, she enjoys time with her family and friends, 
traveling to Magic Conventions and to Las Vegas, attending craft shows, 
making crafts, and watching movies, especially old movies, and plays. 
She also volunteers at her church, has been a volunteer camp counselor 
during her vacations and has helped other organizations at the May 
Dugan Center, where her field office is located.
