  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sam and Cathee 
Vaughn for receiving the 2002 Citizen of the Year Award from the 
Hughson Chamber of Commerce. These two outstanding individuals have 
contributed greatly to their community.
  Sam Vaughn attended Hughson High School, and graduated from San Diego 
State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education. He 
began substitute teaching in 1959 while awaiting induction into the 
army. He was employed by Ceres Unified Schools where he not only taught 
7th grade, but also was instrumental in school programs. Sam is an 
educational leader, as well as an involved member of the community. He 
served as president/chairperson for the Lions Club, Big Brothers/Big 
Sisters, Counseling Center Advisory Board of Hughson Youth Center, and 
the Salvation Army Extension.
  Cathee Vaughn is from San Diego. She received specialized training in 
community organization and Mental Health consultation. Mrs. Vaughn has 
been active within her community throughout her career. She was 
Coordinator of the Outreach Homeless Mentally Disabled Project, and she 
has a long history as a Patients' Rights Advocate. Cathee has made 
herself available to the community through her job, but also through 
participation in activities within the community. She served on the 
Hughson City Council, Family Service Agency of Stanislaus County, State 
of California Commission on the Status of Women, and many other boards.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sam and Cathee Vaughn for 
receiving the 2002 Citizen of the Year Award. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in thanking them for their tremendous service to the community 
and their dedication to excellence.
