                   HONORING JOAN McCAFFERY KUPERSMITH

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 16, 2003

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joan Anne 
McCaffery Kupersmith of Wilton, Connecticut, who will be feted at 
Patsy's Restaurant in New York City on Sept. 18, 2003, on the occasion 
of her fortieth birthday.
  Mrs. Kupersmith was born in Teaneck, New Jersey on Sept. 18, 1963, 
and was raised with her five terrific siblings in Harrington Park, New 
Jersey. She is a graduate of Boston College and Harvard Law School. An 
accomplished attorney, Mrs. Kupersmith has chosen to represent children 
in the courts of her community, providing expert counsel as a court-
appointed attorney for children who need and deserve sage support as 
they navigate our legal system.
  Mrs. Kupersmith's work is made possible in part by the strong support 
of her husband, Ken, and her loving children, Ryan, Caroline and 
Nicholas. Public service is a tradition in the Kupersmith and McCaffery 
families, and I applaud Joan Anne's humanitarianism.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to acknowledge such a fine individual, 
and I am certain the entire House of Representatives joins me in 
extending our very best wishes to Joan Anne and her entire family at 
this festive time.
