        RONALD C. GILLESPIE OF GALWAY, NY--A ``SUPERINTENDENT'S 
                            SUPERINTENDENT''

                                 ______


                        HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, on June 30, 1994, Ronald C. Gillespie will 
be retiring as superintendent of schools for the Galway Central School 
District, a position he has filled for 15 of the 36 years he has spent 
educating our children.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, I intend to see Mr. Gillespie get some long-
overdue recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, we are often so busy reciting what's wrong with American 
education today, we sometimes forget to notice what's right with 
American education.
  Ronald C. Gillespie is what's right with American education. His 
peers and staff consider him a ``superintendent's superintendent,'' a 
reputation he earned with a consistent record of effective leadership 
and management skills. His dedication to the education of our young 
people has inspired those around him. The entire community is indebted 
to him and proud of him. And so am I.
  There will be a retirement dinner in Mr. Gillespie's honor on June 
10. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and other members to join me in wishing him 
all the best in his retirement years after such a long and 
distinguished career.
