                        Tuesday, March 27, 2001

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Marjorie Condon, a life-long resident of Ohio, who dedicated her life 
to the teaching profession. She will be missed, not only by her beloved 
family, but also by hundreds of former students.

  Mrs. Condon taught fourth grade in Cleveland for over 15 years, first 
at Tom L. Johnson Elementary and then at Charles Lake Elementary, 
taking time off to raise six children. Holding bachelors degrees in 
both journalism and education, she shared a love of learning and 
literature with her husband, former newspaper columnist, George E. 
Condon. George and Marjorie met at Ohio State University and were 
married for 58 years.
  She raised a family and loved crocheting, sewing, and playing piano. 
She also enjoyed fashioning stained glass, making candles, and cooking 
Chinese food. While in her mid-50s, Marjorie even taught herself how to 
snow ski.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me today in celebrating the life of 
this remarkable woman. She was a woman of great knowledge and learning, 
who dedicated her life to her family and students.
