                PAYING TRIBUTE TO SISTER ALICE ANNE LANE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 15, 1998

  Mr. BLAGOJEVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Sister Alice Ann Lane, who will be celebrating her 70th Jubilee as a 
member of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
  Sister Alice Ann has devoted 57 of her 86 years to guiding and 
educating America's youth. She taught in Iowa for 32 years, before 
sharing her knowledge and wisdom with the children in Northwest Chicago 
for 25 years. Today, even in her retirement, this vibrant and loving 
woman dedicates her time to volunteering for the Department of Aging 
and tutoring students in need of her help.
  In a time when education is at the forefront of Congress' agenda, 
Sister Alice Ann provides what we as legislators already know--that a 
strong education, including dedicated teachers like Sister Alice Ann, 
is the cornerstone of a strong democracy and a strong America.
  On behalf of the constituents of the 5th district of Illinois, I 
would like to thank Sister Alice Ann for her devotion and commitment to 
teaching, to helping others and to touching the lives of so many.
