Recently. a saddening experience very poignantly brought this point home to me. A valued constituent. George Bobish. died 2 weeks before U.S. citizenship was to be conferred upon him. For 57 years Mr. Bobish strived to become a citizen and dreamed of the day that he would be able to take our oath of allegiance. On four separate occasions the redtape of the immigration process kept him from his goal. Finally. this year. longlost records were found and it was arranged for George Bobish to complete the naturalization process on May 16. However. on May 5 Mr. Bobish died at age 87.
