  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Shirley Ramaeker 
for her many years of service at the Eagle Grove, Iowa, Fareway 
Economical Food Store.
   For the past 20 years, Shirley has served the people of Eagle Grove 
as an outstanding and dedicated employee, offering reliable and 
friendly service. In fact, members of the community often wait in her 
line just to have their groceries checked out by her. Shirley's 
commitment to her job and her customers has earned her admiration, 
trust and friendship from her fellow co-workers. Great service goes a 
long way, and I am honored to see fellow Iowans like Shirley providing 
service second to none.
   I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
commending Shirley Ramaeker for her service to Eagle Grove and the 
Fareway Food Store. I consider it an honor to represent her in 
Congress, and I wish her the best in her future endeavors.
