                         TRIBUTE TO MARY GLESE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 24, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Mrs. Mary Glese, 
principal at Hogan Elementary School in Marshalltown, Iowa, on the 
occasion of her retirement. I also wish to express my appreciation for 
Mary's dedication and commitment to the youth of Iowa.
   For the past 39 years, Mrs. Glese has contributed her time and 
talents to improving youths' lives through education and mentoring. She 
grew up in Ames and graduated from Iowa State University before 
obtaining her master's degree from the University of Colorado in 
Boulder. During her career, Mrs. Glese also worked at schools in 
Minnesota and Mason City as well as a consultant for the Area Education 
Agency.
   Mrs. Glese has truly made a lasting impact on students, family and 
faculty throughout her illustrious career, and her leadership at Hogan 
Elementary will certainly be missed by everyone. I consider it an honor 
to represent Mrs. Mary Glese in the United States Congress, and I wish 
her and her husband David a happy and healthy retirement.
