                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 18, 2004

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Geraldine 
Catherine Murphy upon her retirement after 40 years of teaching the 
children of our community.
  After graduating from Marygrove College in 1964, Ms. Murphy taught 
the students of SS. Peter and Paul School in Detroit until 1998. During 
this time, she served on many educational committees, including the 
committee which wrote the Language Arts/English curriculum for the 
Archdiocese of Detroit.
  In 1998, Ms. Murphy came to the educational community at St. Edith in 
Livonia. There is no doubt, her wisdom and guidance were a great asset 
to our community. The impact she had upon St. Edith will be felt for 
many years to come, as she will be sorely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincere appreciation to Geraldine Catherine 
Murphy, upon her retirement after 40 years of teaching, for her fine 
service to our community and our country.
