          RECOGNIZING NANCY PASQUALINO OF SPRING HILL, FLORIDA

                                 ______

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 7, 2009

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Nancy Pasqualino of Hernando County, Florida. Nancy has done 
something that all of us strive to do, but that very few of us will 
ever accomplish, celebrate her 101st birthday.
  Nancy was born May 12, 1907 in Brooklyn, New York. Coming from a 
loving family, Nancy grew up and attended school in Brooklyn. She did 
not get married or have any children, but she did have a long career as 
a bookkeeper and office manager at Gucci Shops on 5th Avenue in New 
York City. While she has not met any famous people in her life, Nancy 
said she and her sister Connie are second cousins to Mother Theresa.
  Living in Hernando County with Connie, Nancy says that the beautiful 
weather is what drew her to this area of Florida. Still active in the 
community, she is still driving her car and has recently renewed her 
driver's license. She enjoys the company of her sister and likes to 
read literature. Nancy's advice to young people today is that they 
should always listen to their parents.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in honoring Nancy Pasqualino 
for reaching her 101st birthday. I hope we all have the good fortune to 
live as long as her.
