                       TRIBUTE TO RUTH A. GELLER

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President I rise today to pay a well-
deserved tribute to Ruth A. Geller, MSW on the occasion of her 
retirement from the Connecticut Mental Health Center after 25 years of 
service as a psychiatric social worker supervisor.
  Ruth has demonstrated exceptional compassion, dedication, and 
professionalism in caring for the severely, chronically mentally 
impaired of Connecticut. As a mentor and teacher, Ruth has trained a 
generation of mental health professionals with the same devotion she 
has brought to her clinical work. As a result, Ruth has instilled in 
them the ability to become respectful, empathetic mental health 
providers.
  I am proud to stand before the Senate to congratulate Ruth Geller 
upon her retirement and thank her for an outstanding career which has 
enhanced the lives of so many. I wish her continued success in the 
years ahead.
