We are very proud in my office to say Elizabeth O'Connor was chosen, by a random selection process, as the Cherry Blossom Queen of the United States. She is a wonderful young woman who is very accomplished in many ways. A summa cum laude graduate of Notre Dame University from Farmington, CT, she went to Farmington High School. She is the daughter of wonderful parents, Fred and Katherine O'Connor in Farmington, CT. She will be going to Japan for a couple of weeks, meeting with the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House, as the Cherry Blossom Queen of the United States. You can understand the source of pride in our office and in Connecticut that Elizabeth has been chosen as Connecticut's society princess crowned the Cherry Blossom Queen. We are very proud of her. I know she will represent the State and the country very admirably.
