Announcements, adjournment honors, and remarks under special privilege
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of three members of the United States Olympic team from the 16th Senate District: Nina Roth, Becca Hamilton and Matt Hamilton. All three are members of the United States Curling Team competing at the 2018 Olympic Winter games in South Korea.
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in memory of Gregory A. Ennis, family member of our own Sarah Burhop, who passed away on February 13, 2018, at the age of 30, in Colorado Springs, CO. Greg was a loving son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend to many. To those who knew him, Greg had the most beautiful smile and heart, love of his family and his family of friends. Greg left this world way too young, and he has left a lasting imprint on his family’s hearts.
Senator Miller, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor Paul Kusuda. Paul was a human being with a passion for justice tempered by immense personal grace. Paul’s parents, Masao and Chitko, immigrated to the US from Japan in the early 1900a. As a young man, Paul was offered a federal internship in 1941, but on February 19, 1942, Presidential Executive Order 9066 directed internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Paul was interred with the rest of his family at the Manzanar Relocation Center located at the north end of Death Valley. Upon release from Manzanar, Paul obtained a Masters of Social Work from the University of Chicago. Paul then worked in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, retiring in 1987 as the Deputy Director for Juvenile Services. Paul educated students, congregations, and civic groups about his experience at Manzanar. He was not better about his experience. He used his experience to alert his audience to how fear can be manipulated to deprive people of their human rights, even in America. Paul Kusuda conveyed these lessons with compassion and understanding. Coincidentally, yesterday was the 786th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, so it is fitting and appropriate that today we honor Paul Kusuda for his service to the people of Wisconsin.
