Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Sophie Madej. a remarkable woman. a PolishAmerican from Chicago who recently closed the doors to her neighborhood diner. The Busy Bee Restaurant. Ms. Madejs Busy Bee was a beloved community gathering place for 33 years. Ms. Madej purchased the restaurant in 1965. fourteen years after she courageously immigrated to the United States from Germany. Her country of birth was Poland though. a land which she was forced to flee in 1943 due to the Nazis labor laws. Ms. Madej. who recently turned seventy on July 5. plans on visiting her homeland during her retirement.
