                         HON. LUIS V. GUTIERREZ

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 2, 2003

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my best wishes for 
the upcoming marriage of Dena Marie Carli and Dennis Wayne Pociask on 
June 7, 2003.
  Dena and Dennis met while on duty as police officers with the 13th 
District Chicago Police Department.
  Dena, who is currently pursuing a law degree, has been working in law 
enforcement since 1995. She started as Cook County deputy sheriff and 
in 1999 became a Chicago police officer. Her parents, Officer Reno and 
Diane Carli, and her sister, Officer Lisa Carli, are all very proud of 
her decision to continue in the family business of keeping our city 
safe.
  Dennis has been with the police force since 1998 and remains close 
with his mother, Tina, his brother, Ray, his sister-in-law, Pamela, and 
his niece, Holly.
  Mr. Speaker, marriage is an occasion worthy of celebration and 
recognition. Please join me in wishing the very best for Dena and 
Dennis' new life together. May they share many pleasant memories in a 
marriage built on trust, friendship and a loving commitment to one 
another. I wish them many years of happiness and ask my colleagues to 
join me in extending their best wishes.
