    RECOGNIZING MS. DOROTHY PARKS FOR HER 50 YEARS OF DEDICATED AND 
                            FAITHFUL SERVICE

                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2014

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dorothy Parks. I 
had the honor and privilege of working with Ms. Parks in Plattsburgh, 
NY for more than 30 years. She works hard every day, diligently and 
happily performing the tasks she is assigned.
  This month will mark her 50th year at the firm where we both worked, 
she having started there on July 13, 1964. During her five decades at 
the firm, Ms. Parks earned the respect of all who came to trust and 
depend on her, including myself. She has guided many new staff and 
young lawyers, teaching us the ropes, if you will, with a smile and a 
gentle hand.
  While working for the firm, Ms. Parks raised four children and now 
has six loving grandchildren for whom she is a dedicated grandparent.
  Ms. Parks' employer, Stafford, Piller, Murnane, Kelleher and 
Trombley, will be recognizing her successful 50 year career later this 
month with a celebratory luncheon.
