  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Records Clerk II Vera 
Peterson for her 23 years of service at the Daly City Police 
Department.
  Ms. Peterson served as assistant trainee for the department from 1980 
1981. She started her career in the records division in 1988. She 
excelled in all categories handled by that division: transcription, 
subpoenas, citations and impounds, classification, and restraining 
orders. Her extensive experience and wealth of knowledge put her in the 
perfect position to train new employees of the records division.
  Ms. Peterson's meticulous attention to detail and hard work have 
earned her the respect and admiration of her co-workers. Her passion 
for baking also made her a very popular member of the department; she 
frequently shared broccoli quiche and cupcakes with her colleagues.
  Vera Peterson graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in San 
Francisco and received her Associate Degree in criminology from City 
College of San Francisco.
  She and her husband of 28 years, John, live in Montara. They have one 
daughter, Tiffany.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask this body to rise with me to honor the devoted 
service of Vera Peterson to the residents of Daly City. Her high 
standards and exemplary commitment to the community will be a difficult 
act to follow for any future records clerk.
