              CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF NAN HERRING BURNSIDE

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, today I celebrate the life of Nan 
Herring Burnside, a constituent and fellow educator whose death on 
October 14 represented a great loss to all who knew her, particularly 
the many students whom she has helped and their grateful parents.
  Upon graduation from the University of Miami, Nan became a teacher in 
the Miami area, and she remained there for the next 35 years. She was a 
co-principal at Bay Point School, an alternative educational and 
rehabilitation center focusing on behavior management for troubled 
youths.
  She was a devoted Christian, and an active member of the First 
Baptist Church of Perrine. She shared her faith openly with those 
around here, and was an inspiration to family, friends and students. 
Like her mother, Amy Steinman, an appropriations analyst for the House 
majority whip's office, shares her mother's generosity and commitment.
  I want to express my deepest condolences to Amy and to her brother 
John, and to all of the staff and students at Bay Point School.
  Nan personified all that was good and noble in this world. She will 
be sorely missed, especially by her family, the Bay Point community, 
and all who will continue to work hard to ensure that her legacy lives 
on in changing the lives of our troubled youth.
