  Mr. TUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute an American success 
story, and congratulate Sam Anderson and Yvonne Marie Anderson. Sam and 
Yvonne are special to me because they are the aunt and uncle of my 
wife, Robin M. Tucker.
  Mr. Speaker, these two exceptional people are to be commended for 
their work in the field of education. Both being educators, they have 
given tirelessly of themselves and displayed true dedication to the 
students of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
  Sam Anderson, born in Dallas, TX, came to Los Angeles, and eventually 
received his B.A. degree from Pepperdine University. His 36 years in 
the Los Angeles Unified School District/High School Division, included 
teaching history for 18 years at Jordan High School, and being actively 
involved with the High School Work Experience Program and Youth 
Services for the last 12 years.
  Yvonne Marie Anderson, hailing from Ft. Worth, TX, attended Woodbury 
Business College. She was employed for 25 years in the Los Angeles 
Unified School District/Adult Division at the Jordan/Locke Community 
Adult School. Mrs. Anderson taught business education for the 
Employment Preparation Center, was a teacher's advisor for two 
successive terms and was the business education chairman for three 
consecutive terms.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sam Anderson's commitment to the advancement of high 
school students and their preparation for the work force, and Mrs. 
Yvonne Marie Anderson's commitment to the development of adults in 
preparation for jobs in the business field, along with their active 
participation in numerous school organizations and educational 
associations, is to be lauded, for they are truly an American success 
story, and I am proud to associate myself with them.
