                       TRIBUTE TO ELEANOR SANTEE

 Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, today, I would like to honor a woman 
of incomparable dedication and grace. After 26 years of loyal service 
to the Scranton School District, Mrs. Eleanor Santee retired from her 
position as a secretary at Robert Morris Elementary School on March 2, 
2007.
  Throughout Eleanor's years of service, the combination of her 
experience and work ethic allowed her to provide capable administrative 
support for the three principals of Robert Morris Elementary under whom 
she served. More importantly, Eleanor took the time and initiative to 
provide support, encouragement, and friendship to the thousands of 
students who passed through the school during tenure. Some people with 
Eleanor's years of experience might have become complacent, but Eleanor 
understood that in order to be successful a school must go beyond mere 
academic success; it must also provide a nurturing environment where 
pupils can develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for 
success throughout life. Eleanor made an indelible mark on Robert 
Morris Elementary and all who passed through there. She can take pride 
in a job well done.
  In retirement, I have no doubt that Eleanor will continue to be an 
active citizen of my hometown, Scranton, PA, where she resides with her 
husband Richard.
  I congratulate Eleanor on her many years of service to Robert Morris 
Elementary School and wish her the best in health and happiness at the 
completion of an admirable career.
