                     A TRIBUTE TO MRS. MAGGIE BAKER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 5, 2007

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay to Mrs. Maggie Baker.
  Mrs. Baker was born in Alabama and migrated to Brooklyn, NY, where 
she married Jessie Baker, Sr. She and her husband of 45 years are the 
proud parents of 5 sons, 1 daughter, and 20 grandchildren.
  Mrs. Baker is most recognized for her years of service with the board 
of education until 2004. A dedicated member of New Canaan Baptist 
Church, Mrs. Baker has served as president of the usher board and as a 
Sunday school teacher for more than 31 years. Although she is actively 
involved in other community organizations, Mrs. Baker enjoys spending 
quality time with her family and traveling.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the impressive achievements 
of Mrs. Maggie Baker for her commitment to the Brooklyn community.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to a 
great individual of high morals, ethics, and integrity.
