                         HONORING LYNN SULLIVAN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2001

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a woman who 
has dedicated her life to the pursuit of learning and sharing the gift 
of knowledge with her students. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lynn 
Sullivan, an educator in East Rutherford, New Jersey, who was recently 
honored by that town for her service. In fact, June, 2001 has been 
declared ``Lynn Sullivan Month'' by the East Rutherford Education 
Community.

  Lynn Sullivan has brought her creativity and imagination to the 
profession of teaching. She was well loved by both her colleagues as 
well as the many students whose lives she touched. There is no doubt 
that her work will be greatly missed by the students of East 
Rutherford.
  However, here efforts will always be felt. I am reminded of Henry 
Adam's saying that, ``A teacher affects eternity; they can never tell 
where their influence stops.''
  People who give so much of themselves, as Lynn Sullivan, do not do so 
for the recognition. However, she certainly deserves to receive it.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Lynn Sullivan as well as her 
family on the occasion of this well deserved tribute from the town of 
East Rutherford, New Jersey, and wish them health and happiness in the 
years to come.
