 HONORING ANNE MARIE FERGUSON OF THE LADIES ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 15, 2005

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments 
and dedication of Anne Marie Ferguson to the Ladies Ancient Order of 
Hibernians State Board of New York State.
  Anne Marie Ferguson, the LAOH New York State President, has been a 
dedicated member for 36 years. She is a Syracuse native who graduated 
from Bishop Ludden High School and then went on to graduate from Maria 
Regina College in Syracuse.
  Her many years of dedication to the LAOH resulted in her becoming a 
board member some 12 years ago. This in turn led to her election as 
State President in July 2003 where she serves as a respected leader of 
this very important organization. The Hibernians clearly recognized the 
talent of this special person. I must also acknowledge with pride her 
continuing role as both mother and grandmother to her three children 
and two grandchildren. They are very proud of her with good reason.
  It is an honor and a privilege to recognize the dedication of Anne 
Marie Ferguson to the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians State Board of 
New York State. Her service and dedication to this organization is 
greatly appreciated.
