  TRIBUTE TO DR. DONALD D. WARNER ON HIS RETIREMENT AFTER 23 YEARS AS 
        SUPERINTENDENT OF RED BANK REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 1998

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, May 27, 1998, Dr. Donald 
Warner was honored on the occasion of his retirement as Superintendent 
of the Red Bank, NJ, Regional High School District, after 23 years of 
service. Dr. Warner's many friends and well-wishers, joined to show 
their gratitude and admiration at a reception at the Shore Casino in 
Atlantic Highlands, NJ.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Warner began his long and distinguished career in 
education 40 years ago, starting out as a classroom teacher. He earned 
his Bachelor's Degree at Temple University and his Doctor of Education 
Degree at the Pennsylvania State University. Over the years, he has 
received school and community awards too numerous to mention. In his 
nearly a quarter-century in the Red Bank area, he has taken on 
significant community and professional responsibilities, serving on 
various boards of trustees, foundations and task forces in Monmouth 
County and throughout the State of New Jersey.
  A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Warner now lives in Tinton Falls, NJ, 
with his wife Mercedes, a teacher in the Tinton Falls District. The 
Warners' three children have all achieved impressive success--not 
surprising, given the commitment to hard work and excellence instilled 
in them by both of their parents.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Warner's retirement will leave a tremendous void for 
the Red Bank Regional High School District. But Dr. Warner's tremendous 
legacy will be felt for years to come, through the admirable example he 
set for other administrators and teachers, and through the thousands of 
students who have been inspired by his devotion to education. A 
scholarship being established in Dr. Warner's honor will further that 
legacy by providing opportunities for students to expand their 
educational opportunities for years to come. I wish
