  Mrs. FOWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of my 
constituents who has dedicated her life to something of which we speak 
so often in this Chamber, the pursuit of excellence in education. For 
the past 40 years, Mary Truscott has faithfully served as secretary and 
administrative assistant at Father Lopez High School in Daytona Beach, 
FL. Throughout this time, Mary had a profound positive influence on 
countless lives and helped to shape our future leaders. She has been 
the glue that binds the school together and is a shining constant in an 
all too rapidly changing world.
  Mary Truscott's 40 years of selfless service to the Father Lopez 
school community and to the Diocese of Orlando is truly a remarkable 
accomplishment. To many students and teachers, she has been a real 
American hero. As she celebrates her anniversary this coming weekend, I 
am proud to recognize her accomplishments and to express my personal 
gratitude as well as that of the entire Daytona Beach community.
