    PAYING TRIBUTE TO TYRONNE E. DORAM, SR. FOR TWENTY-TWO YEARS OF 
             TEACHING FOR THE CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 1, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Tyronne E. Doram, 
Sr., who retired on January 20, 2006, after twenty-two years of 
teaching in the Clark County School District.
  Mr. Doram has been a role model, mentor, and constant example of what 
is good in education. In 1994, he was honored as Kiwanis Teacher of the 
Year, and when many people are winding down their careers, Mr. Doram 
was instrumental in expanding the Culinary Arts program at the Area 
Technical Trade Center (ATTC), in North Las Vegas. His senior students 
have had the opportunity to complete internships in various hotel 
culinary departments both on and off the Las Vegas Strip. Many of his 
graduates have secured positions in the industry immediately after 
graduation while other students have continued their education in 
postsecondary institutions. Mr. Doram and his students were recognized 
by President Clinton for their contributions to the 1995 White House 
Christmas celebration. Graduates from the 2004 and 2005 ATTC culinary 
arts program have received over $90,000 in scholarships, due mainly to 
Mr. Doram's fine teaching.
  Prior to becoming a teacher, Mr. Doram served our country for twenty 
years in the United States Air Force. He retired as a Master Sergeant, 
with his most notable tours of duty being Vietnam and Thailand. Mr. 
Doram was honored by President Ford for his ideals and recommendations 
that saved the country money in the operations of the culinary 
departments, throughout the United States Armed Forces.
  The Clark County School District will greatly miss Mr. Doram, who 
during his years as a teacher was an outstanding educator who deeply 
cared about the youth of Nevada. Yet his legacy of service to the 
community will be seen for generations to come.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor that I am able to recognize Tyronne E. 
Doram today, on the floor of the House in front of my colleagues. I 
commend Mr. Doram for his fine example and exemplary service to the 
State of Nevada.
