           IN MEMORY OF LINDA M. GEORGE AND CHRISTOPHER ZARBA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 14, 2001

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, earlier in the week I offered remarks on 
three of my constituents who were lost in Tuesday's tragic attacks. As 
the days have progressed, I have learned that other people from my 
district were also killed.
  I would like to take just a minute of the House's time to honor two 
people: Linda M. George and Christopher Zarba.
  Linda George, 27, was one of seven employees from the TJX Companies 
who died on American Airlines Flight 11, which was hijacked and crashed 
into the World Trade Center.
  Linda lived in Westborough, and was planning to get married on 
October 20 in Worcester. She graduated from St. Peter-Marian and 
Providence College. She was a passionate worker, a terrific athlete and 
a great friend to those who knew her.
  She leaves behind her parents, Richard and Carolyn and her fiancee, 
Jeff Pereira.
  Christopher Zarba, 47, was from Hopkinton. He was a software engineer 
for Concord Communications, Inc. He was also killed on American 
Airlines Flight 11.
  His loss has been deeply felt by his family and his colleagues at 
Concord. Saturday would have been his 48th birthday.
  Mr. Speaker, I know all of my colleagues join me in mourning the loss 
of these and every victim of Tuesday's tragedy. Our deepest sympathies 
go out to their families at this difficult time.
  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
