President, I rise to thank my colleague from
Maine, whose amazing work as chair of the Aging Committee continues to
inspire me. I also rise to share a story that is very personal to me. It is a
story about one of the smartest people whom I have known, my
grandmother Katherine, whom I was named after. She was the daughter of
an Italian immigrant and his Italian-American wife. She was exactly the
kind of person you think of when you think of an Italian grandmother. If you have ever had one, you know that she loves to feed people and
invite the whole family--aunts, uncles, cousins, everyone--over to her
house for dinner on Sunday nights.
