                       TRIBUTE TO KATHLEEN DOYLE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 2005

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kathleen Doyle of 
Petaluma, California, who is retiring from a long and illustrious 
career as a small business owner and community advocate. Kathleen and 
Maggie, her 13-year-old pet schnauzer, will soon be moving to a new 
home in Arlington, South Dakota to live closer to her immediate family.
  A professional CPA, Kathleen leaves behind the accounting firm she 
established as well as many friends and associates who will miss her 
expertise, civic experience, and companionship. She has just completed 
a decade on the Santa Rosa Junior College Board of Trustees where she 
was relied upon for tracking the budget for other Board members.
  An active participant in the fabric of Petaluma's civic life, 
Kathleen was a founding member of the Petaluma Woman's Club II and 
served on the Petaluma Chamber of Commerce Board (as President), the 
Sonoma County Civil Service Commission, the Petaluma Planning 
Commission, The Petaluma chapter of the Business and Professional 
Women's Club (as President), and the Petaluma Valley Hospital 
Foundation. She was also treasurer for the Woolsey For Congress 
campaign.
  Kathleen's new home in a town of 900 will be near her two sisters and 
their families. She also plans to spend time traveling, perhaps to 
escape the below-zero temperatures of the Arlington winters.
  Mr. Speaker, Kathleen Doyle has been an inspiration to many in the 
Petaluma community. It is hard to imagine the city without her. 
However, we know that Petaluma's loss will be Arlington's gain. Good 
luck to Kathleen in her new life.
