  Ms. Marino began her teaching career in Wyoming. After teaching for a 
year in Wyoming, she moved to Garfield Elementary School in Loveland, 
Colorado. Over the course of her twenty-seven years at Garfield 
Elementary Ms. Marino taught kindergarten as well as third and fourth 
grade.
  As I reflect on the impact that educators have on the lives of their 
students, I think not only of scholastic standards but of their ability 
to instill the invaluable desire to learn--to reach for something 
greater than ourselves. I still remember fondly those special teachers 
who motivated and encouraged me on my childhood journey. I have no 
doubt Ms. Marino has made a similarly significant impact on the 
countless students she has taught over the years.
  Madam Speaker, as Ms. Marino begins a new chapter in her life, I urge 
my colleagues to join me in recognizing her twenty-eight years of 
public service and the substantial contributions she has made to the 
lives of countless children.
