    KATHERINE AYDEN HOLLINGSWORTH CREECH MAKES HER MARK ON THE WORLD

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2008

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Zeke 
Creech, formerly of my staff, and his wife Bess on the birth of their 
first child, Katherine Ayden Hollingsworth Creech. Katherine was born 
on June 16, 2008, and weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces. Faye joins me in 
wishing Zeke and Bess great happiness during this very special time in 
their lives.
  As a father and grandfather myself, 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 Zeke and Bess 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 Katherine into the world and wish Zeke and Bess all 
the best as they raise her.
