                       TRIBUTE TO JOE RUTHERFORD

                                 ______


                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, last month one of the Toledo Public School's 
most distinguished educators and administrators, Mr. Joe Rutherford, 
retired after 37 years of service to our community. His counsel and 
wisdom will be sorely missed.
  Joe Rutherford has done it all in his career. He began as a math 
teacher, moved on to become a principal, a superintendent, and since 
1978, the director of legislative services for the Toledo Public 
Schools. It was my pleasure to know and work with Joe in all these 
capacities. I always have been impressed by the energy and commitment 
he brings to his life and his desire to do what is best for the 
community, especially our students.
  Joe Rutherford's service to our community did not stop at the end of 
his busy days at the Toledo Public Schools. He possesses a long and 
impressive record of service to other organizations in our community, 
our State, and our Nation. He is a man of many talents and those who 
have benefited from his generosity are eternally grateful.
  On behalf of the Toledo Public Schools--its educators, 
administrators, students, and alumni--I would like to extend our 
sincere gratitude to Joe Rutherford for his many years of service to 
our community. He made a difference and built a better future for our 
community.
