HONORING LENORE GOODFRIEND ON HER RETIREMENT

HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI OF ILLINOIS IN THE HOUSe O REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday. March 29, 2012

Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker,

I rise today to honor Mrs, Lenore Goodfriend on the occasion of her retirement from federal service.

This week, Lenore will retire from her position with my office after over 20 years of public service. She is truly a remarkable person, having dedicated two decades to addressing the concerns of the many constituents in the 3rd Congressional District who contact my office on a daily basis, and someone I can call a friend to myself and my family, I have been honored to know Lenore for many years beyond my time in Congress, Lenore is a compassionate and selfless public servant who has been active in her community In Oak Lawn and serves on the Johnson-Phelps VFW Post 5220 women's auxiliary. During her time in my office, she has helped countless members of the military with everything from dealing with the VA to obtaining medals they earned but never received. More than one constituent has remarked that her last name is no accident: she is truly a "good friend" to those in need of assistance. Between balancing personal obligations and serving the public, Lenore is a true inspiration for her family, friends, and colleagues, I admire her strength and determination, and will miss her presence on my staff, I know Lenore will not be far away, I am sure I will be seeing her in the community, and I look forward to hearing about the next stage in her life's journey with her husband Dave, a Veteran who served our Nation in the Army, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Lenore Goodfriend on her many years of dedicated public service. May she enjoy her retirement to the fullest.
