  Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Margaret M. 
Carroll and the announcement of her being named the recipient of the 
John H. Chafee Award, which was presented to her by the Blackstone 
River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission.
  Ms. Carroll has given of herself generously over the years for the 
good of the Blackstone and Millville communities and this award 
appropriately recognizes her tireless efforts. Ms. Carroll served as a 
fine educator in the Blackstone-Millville school district for thirty-
seven years. The many success stories of the students she taught serves 
as testament to her teaching ability. The many success stories of the 
students she taught serves as testament to her teaching ability. Also, 
Ms. Carroll has familiarized herself with the Blackstone River Valley 
to a level that is matched by no one. The river valley is forever in 
Ms. Carroll's debt for the dedicated service she has provided to it 
over the years. In addition to her efforts related to the river valley, 
she has volunteered throughout the Blackstone-Millville communities 
countless times and in various ways.
  Mr. Speaker, I can think of no one more fit to receive the John H. 
Chafee award than Ms. Margaret Carroll. I personally congratulate her 
and thank her for her dedicated service.
