                         Tuesday, July 23, 2002

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Joan Adler Gaul, tutor of special needs children, long-time volunteer, 
devoted wife and mother, and beloved grandmother.
  Mrs. Gaul was born and raised in Cleveland's West Park Neighborhood. 
After receiving her diploma from St. Stephen High School, she worked 
briefly as an executive assistant for a railway company, then left to 
begin raising her eight children. Above all, her family remained the 
focal point of her life.
  Mrs. Gaul warmly embraced life, and possessed a generous spirit. She 
channeled her talent, kindness and patience by volunteering her time to 
help special needs children. In addition, Mrs. Gaul was very active in 
her church, St. Angela Merici Catholic Church, where she was president 
of the Altar and Rosary Society. Her great enthusiasm and energy for 
life extended to her participation in many musicals produced by the St. 
Angela Players, and she also enjoyed golfing in the warmer months.
  Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Joan Adler Gaul will be remembered as a devoted 
wife and trusted friend to many. Although she will be deeply missed, 
her legacy of caring, volunteer spirit, and great zeal for life, will 
live on through all who knew her well.
