HONORING DR. MARLIN B. CREASY UPON HIS RETIREMENT FROM MUNCIE COMMUNITY 
                                SCHOOLS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE PENCE

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 23, 2008

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the long and 
distinguished career of Dr. Marlin B. Creasy.
  Dr. Creasy has served as the superintendent of Muncie Community 
Schools since 1997, but he will long be remembered for a commitment to 
public education that goes back some 40 years. Ever a champion of the 
Muncie schools and community, Dr. Creasy was loved by students, 
parents, faculty, and staff alike.
  Dr. Creasy spent countless evenings and weekends throughout his 
career attending school activities. It was this personal interaction 
and involvement that impacted students most and this was clearly Dr. 
Creasy's first love.
  Next year, as students fill the halls of Muncie Community Schools, 
Dr. Creasy will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on. The 
lives of the students that Dr. Creasy touched will lead them to 
experiences that will change the face of Muncie for years to come.
  I'd like to thank Dr. Marlin B. Creasy for being a leader in the 
community and in the lives of the children for whom he opened the doors 
to a better education.
