Sometimes, a tragedy has to happen for us to recognize unsung heroes. On Monday, I received word that Lowell Ensel had passed away. Lowell was an intern here in our D.C. office for the past 3 months. His passing was sudden; it was unexpected, and it was painful to our entire office family. He was just 20 years old; but, while Lowell's years have been short, his reach was very long. That was reflected when over 200 students attended a vigil earlier this week at the University of Maryland. Lowell's love of life had a big impact on our office as well. He handled every project we gave him with a positive attitude and a smile on his face. I offer my thoughts and prayers to Lowell's parents, Ellen and Fendwick, as well as his extended family and countless friends during this time of suffering, as difficult as it is. To my colleagues, I know that each one of you have special people like Lowell in your office. These are young people who work long hours for little or no pay because they want to make a difference in this country. In honor of Lowell, please take a moment and thank these unsung heroes that work in our offices every day. ____________________
