                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2000

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to a 
dedicated educator who has spent the last 44 years serving the Chicago 
Public School (CPS) system and the Southwest side of Chicago. This 
year, Norbert L. Kane, an Assistant Principal at Hubbard High School, 
will be retiring after 35 years of hard work for local students.
  Norbert Kane represents all that Chicago citizens can ask for in an 
educator. He is a devoted family man, married to Delores Kane and a 
father of six children. Professionally, Norbert excelled in the program 
of management for Hubbard High School--Region 5. With his many 
organizational talents, Norbert earned the respect of his many 
colleagues and students.
  In addition, Norbert has been honored for his many self-less 
contributions to the 3rd Congressional District and Southwest Chicago. 
For several years, Mr. Kane administered the Combined Charities 
Campaign, as well as numerous blood drives. He has also served as 
American Legion District Commander--1st Division, while being 
constantly committed to the beautification of Hubbard High School.
  Mr. Speaker, Hubbard High School is regrettably going to lose an 
outstanding Assistant Principal and public servant. It gives me great 
pleasure to share Mr. Kane's accomplishments with my colleagues today. 
Again, I thank Norbert L. Kane for his many years of service, and I 
wish him equal success in his retirement.
