                      TRIBUTE TO MARILYN D. MOSLEY

                                 ______


                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I am fortunate to have constituents within my 
district who are committed to their community and passionate about 
their participation in the political process. Marilyn Mosley 
exemplifies the previously listed qualities. She serves as the 
assistant to the Brooklyn Borough president. In her capacity she is 
responsible for maintaining relations between that office and various 
community boards in the borough.
  Born in Brooklyn, Marilyn is a product of the New York City Public 
School system. Marilyn was a member of the Girls High School class of 
1959, and was voted ``most likely to succeed'' by her classmates. She 
later earned a bachelor of science degree from Morgan State University, 
where she majored in mathematics.
  Marilyn began her professional career at P.S. 29, the same school 
from which she graduated. Teaching sixth grade at P.S. 29 was 
particularly rewarding for her because she was able to serve alongside 
her former teacher and mentor, the late Clara Cardwell. Marilyn has 
served the school system in several teaching, supervisory, and 
administrative capacities. While teaching, Marilyn attended graduate 
school, graduating from City College summa cum laude with a master's 
degree in science and mathematics education. She earned a second 
master's degree in educational administration and supervision. Marilyn 
was inducted into Phi Delta Kappa, an honorary fraternity for student 
maintaining summa cum laude status at the graduate level.
  Marilyn's achievements have been recognized by a host of groups and 
organizations. She has received numerous awards such as the PTA award 
for Excellence in Teaching, Educator of the Year, Woman of the Year, 
and citations from the New York City Council and the New York State 
Legislature. Marilyn's accomplishments are a testament to her interest, 
effort, and commitment to improving the quality of life for Brooklyn 
residents who consistently cite her for work well done.
