                        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, today I ask for the House of 
Representatives to recognize an important day in the life of a resident 
and friend of the 27th Congressional District, Mrs. Katherine Q. 
Buxton. On June 13, 2009, Mrs. Buxton reached a milestone birthday and 
on June 20, 2009, she will celebrate her 80th Birthday with her loving 
family and friends.
  Mrs. Buxton, along with her husband William D. Buxton, began and ran 
one of Western New York's cherished family businesses, Buxton Quality 
Locksmiths. After the passing

of her husband in 2001, Mrs. Buxton helped her sons take over the 
family business.
  Mrs. Buxton has always been and continues to be family oriented. She 
opens her home to her friends and family for ``gala gatherings.'' Her 
five children, 14 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren and friends 
refer to her as ``Wild Kate'' because of her desire to learn and to try 
new adventures.
  I would like to congratulate Mrs. Kate Q. Buxton for reaching this 
important milestone and recognize her for achievements. Along with her 
friends, family, and the residents of the 27th Congressional District, 
It is my pleasure to honor Kate Buxton and thank her for her many 
contributions to her family, community and country. I wish ``Wild 
Kate'' many more years of happiness, love and adventure.
