“I rise to commend Ms. Suzanne Pearson who retired on December 31, 2001, after serving for almost 32 years in the Senate Office of the Legislative Counsel, including the last 10 years as Office Manager. I appreciated the great professionalism and dedication she displayed in her role as Office Manager, particularly the meticulous attention she paid to detail in preparing the expense vouchers of the Office for my approval. We all rely on staff to effectively carry out our legislative responsibilities. Ms. Pearson has seen to it that the Office of Legislative Counsel and all Members of the Senate were well served due to her professionalism and dedication in helping to prepare legislative drafts. I am proud to sponsor this resolution. Suzanne Pearson has served her Nation well for over 33 years. I wish Suzanne the very best for the future, especially time spent with her sisters, Catherine and Adrienne, and her nephews.”
