  Mr. WYNN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of Ms. Marvelle S. 
Wilson who will be 75 years young on April 9, 2005. Marvelle was born 
on April 9, 1930, in Cleveland Ohio. She is the youngest of three 
girls, born to Charles and Ruth Seaton.
  As a neighbor of Carl and Louis Stokes, Marvelle and her sisters 
worked tirelessly to achieve Carl Stoke's victory as the first black 
mayor of Cleveland. Marvelle received her degree in Library Science. 
She worked at the Cleveland Public School as a librarian for over 20 
years until retiring to a part-time position as a Librarian with 
Cuyahoga Community College, a position she currently holds.

  Marvelle has two sons, Marvin and Leslie Holmes. Her oldest son was 
elected to the Maryland State Legislature in 2002 and presently serves 
on the Environmental Matters Committee as well as other leadership 
roles within the Maryland House of Delegates.
  Marvelle is recognized by her church, friends, and relatives as 
someone who continues to donate her time and talents to improving the 
community. I would like to add my wishes to the many friends and 
admirers. I wish you a happy 75th birthday Ms. Marvelle S. Wilson, and 
many more.
