                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 2, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Patricia 
Nino, a member of my staff. Next Friday, May 29th is Patricia's last 
day as the Staff Assistant in our office. Patricia has been serving the 
people of the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois since 1997.
  Patricia was born in Chicago, Illinois, and has raised her family 
here. Her working experience spans from the Chicago Board of Education, 
City of Chicago-Purchasing Department and working at the Chicago Park 
District until her retirement. She has been working in the Fifth 
Congressional District Office having joined my predecessor Rahm 
Emanuel's staff in 2003.
  Patricia has been a cornerstone for the Fifth Congressional District 
office for over a decade, and her cheerful disposition and dedication 
to service will be sorely missed. Patricia has always shown 
determination and heart in everything she's done, including raising two 
sons, caring for her ill husband, and volunteering in the community.
  Patricia's family has always been a priority in her life. Her two 
children, John and Frank, are the proud parents of her grandchildren, 
Collette, Dionna, Brittany and Lexie. Patricia is awaiting the birth of 
her first great-grandchild in August.
  I wish Patricia all the happiness in the future and thank her for her 
service to the people of Illinois' Fifth Congressional District.
