  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Marianne J. Crowder, a 
dedicated community leader from California's 14th Congressional 
District who was recently honored by the Palo Alto Senior Coordinating 
Council with its Lifetimes of Achievement Award.
  Marianne J. Crowder is an exceptional woman who has danced for all 
but the first four of her 88 years. She has been a respected and 
beloved teacher of dance and physical well-being to three generations 
of mid-peninsula students. At Standford University she taught a 
fundamentals of movement class and choreographed dances for plays and 
operas from 1949 to 1968. Also in 1949, Mrs. Crowder began 39 years of 
teaching through the Palo Alto Adult School, and she still holds 6 
classes a week at the Menlo Park Recreation Department. Some students 
have been with her for 35 years.
  Mr. Speaker, Marianne J. Crowder is an outstanding member of our 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating her on 
receiving a Lifetimes of Achievement Award.
