Patsy has handled a huge array of responsibilities over the years. ranging from supervising State offices to managing summer interns. to creating and overseeing an exceptionally efficient mail operation. But if Patsy should be singled out for anything. it is her management of and deep personal commitment to a "case work" operation that is unmatched in the volume and quality of service it has rendered to countless thousands of Louisianians in need. I am very proud of the aid my office has given over the years to .people who had nowhere else to turn. whether it was securing a visa. locating a loved one. or breaking an impasse on a disability payment or a VA widows benefits. We were able to be effective principally because Patsy Guyer has an astounding network of friends and colleagues throughout the Congress and among Federal agencies and. most of all. because she greeted every case. no matter how routine. with the enthusiasm and commitment she brought to her first day on the job in November of 1972. Whether the challenge was to bring home from Abu Dhabi a tragically injured Louisiana businessman. locate a missing child in a Rwandan refugee camp. or organize a food airlift to Cambodia. we always knew Patsy would have the ingenuity and contacts to start the process and the absolutely ironwilled determination and dedication to see it through to completion. I have never known a more selfless and giving individual. and I know I speak for untold thousands in Louisiana in expressing deep gratitude for the extraordinary service that this loyal daughter of North Carolina has rendered to Louisiana and our country.
