                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 8, 2004

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate John Bryan 
and Rebekah Sparrow Chiavetta on the birth of their first child, 
Charlotte Sparrow Chiavetta. Charlotte

[[Page 23459]]

was born on Thursday, October 7, 2004, and weighed 6 pounds and 13 
ounces. Faye joins me in wishing John and Rebekah great happiness 
during this very special time in their lives.
  As a father, I know the joy, pride, and excitement that parents 
experience upon the entrance of their child into the world. 
Representing hope, goodness, and innocence, a newborn allows those 
around her to see the world through her eyes . . . as a new, fresh 
place with unending possibilities for the future. Through a child, one 
is able to recognize and appreciate the full potential of the human 
race. I know the Chiavettas look forward to the changes and challenges 
that their new daughter will bring to their lives while taking pleasure 
in the many rewards they are sure to receive as they watch her grow.
  I welcome young Charlotte into the world and wish John and Rebekah 
all the best as they raise her.
