                    TRIBUTE TO BARB RIEMENSCHNEIDER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 29, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Barb Riemenschneider 
for her ten years of volunteer work with the kindergarten class at Page 
Elementary School in Boone, Iowa, and to express my appreciation for 
her dedication and commitment to the youth of Iowa.
   ``Grandma Barb'' has contributed her time and talents to improving 
children's lives through education and mentoring. Ten years ago when 
Barb's granddaughter began kindergarten, Barb began volunteering at the 
school. Every Friday, she has assisted Rosanne Brown's class with 
number and letter skills, playing board games, and listening to 
students read. Her willingness to do the little things built trust with 
the students and created a positive experience.
   Barb leaves her volunteer job having made a lasting impact on many 
students, and she will be dearly missed by Rosanne and the children at 
Page Elementary. I consider it an honor to represent Barbara 
Riemenschneider in the United States Congress, and I wish her the best 
in her future endeavors.
