A Tribute to Pat Maguire Freeman CONGRESSMAN ADAM B. SCHIFF OF CALIFORNIA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, March 15, 2006 Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Ms. Pat Maguire Freeman, of San Gabriel, California. Each year in March, in recognition of Women's History Month, we pay special tribute to the contributions and sacrifices made by our nation's women. Pat was born in San Francisco in 1940. Since her father was a career army officer, she was raised throughout the world, including the Philippines and Germany, where she attended high school. After attending the University of California Berkeley, she married Lee Freeman in 1961 and they moved to San Gabriel in 1965, where they currently reside. The Freemans have 3 children, Noel, Amber, Roger, and Dawn Myers, their foster daughter and seven grandchildren. Ms. Freeman has been active in many different community organizations. Some past activities include being an Adult Leader for Methodist Youth Fellowship, a Camp Commissioner for Methodist Camp Sturtevant, and a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader. Formerly active in several Parent Teacher Associations, PTAs, for the San Gabriel Unified School District, SGUSD, she has received SGUSD's Golden Apple Award and 3 PTA awards over the years. Pat was a Leader and Steering Committee Member of 4 separate successful School Bond Measures for SGUSD in 1993, 1994, 1998 and 2002. A member since 1996, Ms. Freeman is currently President of the San Gabriel Educational Foundation, and serves on the School Site Council for Del Mar High School. She is a San Gabriel Valley Medical Center volunteer, a member of the center's Foundation Board and Coordinator of the center's Helping Hands volunteer group. In addition, Pat serves on the San Gabriel Community Coordinating Council, leads their Holiday Basket Committee, and has held various officer positions over the years. She is a member of the San Gabriel Rotary Club, and the Women's Division of the San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, where she received the Women's Division of the San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce's Woman of the Year Award in 1989. I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in honoring a remarkable woman of California's 29th Congressional District, Pat Maguire Freeman.
