[Congressional Record Volume 156, Number 167 (Thursday, December 16, 2010)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2157] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] TRIBUTE TO PATTY BENTLEY ______ HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS of new york in the house of representatives Thursday, December 16, 2010 Mr. OWENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Patty Bentley of Plattsburgh, New York on her retirement after 41 years as a librarian at Plattsburgh State and other institutions. Patty was born in Kentucky, spent her early childhood in Michigan, and began her career as a medical librarian at the University of Cincinnati in 1970. Since 1977, she has worked to improve the quality of education for upstate New York students at Plattsburgh State. For 34 years, she has served to make her community a better place by volunteering countless hours with various local organizations. Simply put, Plattsburgh would not be what it is today without her tireless efforts. I have the privilege of calling Patty my friend, and I continue to look to her for guidance on local issues. At the end of this year, Patty will become a retiree, but I am confident that she will never stop serving the community. Mr. Speaker, I thank Patty Bentley for her years of service and congratulate her on 41 wonderful years on the job. ____________________
