                      IN HONOR OF TERRY MARBURGER

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. SAM FARR

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 5, 2003

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a true community servant 
as well as an accomplished business owner, Mrs. Terry Marburger. Terry 
retired on August 1, 2003 after providing 18 years of dedicated service 
to the community of San Juan Bautista.
  Terry was born in New York City and has been a resident of San Juan 
Bautista for the past 34 years, where she has been a contributor to the 
community and to the welfare of the small Mission town. She is married 
to Mr. Larry Marburger and together they raised their two children, 
Sully and Anthony Anastasia. Currently, they have five grandchildren.
  In addition to having worked in the private sector before owning her 
own business, Terry is a member of several community organizations such 
as the Ambassador's Club, the San Benito Tourism Council, the United 
Way of Hollister and the San Juan Bautista Historic Planning Committee.
  I first met Terry in April of 2002 when she accepted my request to 
assist with the planning of California's 17th Congressional District's 
2002 Naturalization Ceremony. Without her tireless help, we would not 
have been able to convene so many community leaders in such a short 
amount of time. That ceremony was a very special day for the 
participating new citizens, and it is one that many members of San 
Benito County will remember for a long time to come. It wouldn't have 
been possible, had it not been for Terry's ambitious fundraising and 
vision for that day.
  Terry will be moving to the Sonora area in the Sierra foothills, and 
I would like to say that she will be missed by the community of San 
Juan Bautista, and San Benito County.
  Because of her enormous sense of dedicated community service and love 
for the City of San Juan Bautista, Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to 
recognize Terry Marburger and her valuable contributions to our 
community.
