From the transcript of the Connecticut House of Representatives - January 3, 2007:

REP. DONOVAN: (84^th)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Members of the Chamber...

I'd like to introduce leaders of the Majority Party...

Behind me is our good friend Walter Pawelkiewicz from Windham. And whenever you bring kids here, everyone always asks what the hearts are for, and there isn't a bigger heart around here than Walter Pawelkiewicz, what can I say. From romantic Willimantic.

But Walter, again, is a good friend and his friendliness works its way throughout the Chamber. So when he comes to people to make sure that bills are done on time, he does it in a way that people like and they work hard with him. So, Walter, it's always been great to have you as a friend. Thank you very much, Walter.

(APPLAUSE)
