  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly commend David Sims, a 
teacher of Latin at St. Paul Academy and Summit School in St. Paul, 
Minnesota for receiving the 2002 Presidential Scholar Teacher 
Recognition Award. Mr. Sims was nominated for this distinction by 
Presidential Scholar Hannah Wright of St. Paul. He and other 
influential teachers fully deserve the recognition provided by the 
Commission on Presidential Scholars. We have people like Mr. Sims to 
thank for being dedicated educators for our nation's children. It is my 
distinct pleasure to congratulate Mr. Sims on receiving this 
prestigious honor.
