                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 28, 1995

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
citizen whose contributions to the educational advancement of New York 
City school children go unsurpassed. It is a special privilege to pay 
tribute to Mr. Louis Galinsky; a teacher, leader, and mentor to 
thousands of students attending New York public schools. His teaching 
skills coupled with a keen understanding of his student's emotional and 
academic needs, earned the highest respect and trust among his pupils, 
parents, colleagues, and fellow academics. This outstanding member of 
our community deserves recognition of his achievements.
  Mr. Galinsky began his successful career as a social studies teacher 
at Junior High School No. 3 in Manhattan. After working there for over 
7 years, he became a guidance counselor at Junior High School No. 71. 
Galinksy's commitment to his students became clear as he remained at 
this post for 8 years. He then worked for the Committee on the 
Handicapped for 2 years and soon after became the assistant principal 
at P.S. 99. Galinsky was later promoted to head principal of this 
school and fulfilled that role until his retirement. His hard work and 
dedication solidified his superior reputation as one of the top 
educational leaders in New York.
  The people of our city owe a moment of thanks to Mr. Galinsky for his 
tireless hard work and countless contributions to the success of New 
York's students. I am honored to salute him upon his retirement and 
wish him well in his future plans.
