[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 14] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages 19091-19092] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING ERNESTINE PIGG ______ HON. RON LEWIS of kentucky in the house of representatives Monday, September 15, 2008 Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Ernestine Pigg, a remarkable citizen from my congressional district. Ernestine recently marked her 45th consecutive year teaching citizenship classes for legal immigrants. Ernestine Pigg began teaching citizenship classes at Fort Knox, KY in 1963. Her final class graduated in 2007. Through the years, Ernestine has remained exceptionally generous with her time as she's prepared more than 2,000 students to pass a Federal test to become United States citizens. In addition to her work with immigrants, Ernestine has also volunteered her services and expertise in foreign languages as a teaching assistant at North Hardin High School in Radcliff, KY and at Armor Office Basic classes at Ft. Knox. She has also assisted Army JROTC students with various fundraising activities and community outreach projects. It is my great privilege to honor Ernestine Pigg today before the entire United States House of Representatives. Her spirit of volunteerism and special commitment to the future success of her students is a portrait of outstanding citizenship worthy of our collective respect and appreciation.
