                    CONGRATULATING ANNELIESE FORBES

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and thank 
Anneliese Forbes as she retires after 30 years of excellence as a 
teacher in the Cincinnati Public School system.
  Frau Forbes, as she is known at Fairview Elementary German Bilingual 
School, has been the epitome of teaching excellence. She is recognized 
as a demanding teacher with a disciplined classroom atmosphere, but who 
tempers this with a loving heart.
  Anneliese has conscientiously worked to determine exactly where each 
of her students needed help and what methods fostered the best results. 
She also regularly communicated with parents regarding their child's 
progress and was always accessible to discuss their concerns or answer 
questions. I can attest to the veracity of these reports, having had 
one of my children in her class. Anneliese's dedication and caring were 
of immeasurable help to me, my wife, Betsy, and our son, Marshall.
  Frau Forbes' interest in her students extended beyond the classroom. 
She was a teacher representative on the school PTA; she was the leader 
of the Edelweiss Dancers--a student German folk dancing group--and 
chaperoned several trips to Germany with her students.
  Frau Forbes' experience, dedication, and caring will be sorely missed 
at Fairview German Bilingual School. I join all of her friends, family, 
and former students in wishing her the very best as she retires.
