              CONGRATULATING PATTI PRICE ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mrs. MILLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the hard work of 
Patricia Price, who has devoted the past 42 years to Big Brothers Big 
Sisters of the Tri-State, an organization in Huntington, West Virginia, 
which provides volunteer mentors for children in adverse living 
situations.
  Patti came to Big Brothers Big Sisters in 1978 fresh out of graduate 
school with a servant's heart. She started as a case worker, eventually 
rising to become the executive director. Throughout her career she 
committed herself to developing a consistent, encouraging, and safe 
environment for underprivileged children in our region.
  Under her leadership, Patti organized hundreds of volunteers and 
staff, and created countless successful fundraising initiatives. 
Through these efforts, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State has 
grown to provide mentorship for over 160 children every year.
  As she moves into the next phase of her life, Patti leaves behind a 
legacy of

compassion, selflessness, and perseverance. Patti Price has changed the 
lives of thousands, and we are all so grateful for her work.
