                        Monday, January 26, 2009

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, let me take this moment to recognize the 
work of Martha Pollard of Lafayette County, Missouri. Martha served as 
Lafayette County Public Administrator for 16 years. She is married to 
Ian Pollard and has two sons Jeff and Mark. She also has two 
granddaughters, Julie and Emily.
  Martha grew up on a farm in Pettis County and attended K-12 school in 
Green Ridge, MO. She graduated as Salutatorian. After graduating high 
school, Pollard went to the University of Central Missouri and received 
her Bachelor of Science in Education and Master's of Education.
  Her service as a teacher has spanned the nation, from the Knob Noster 
elementary school in Missouri to the Los Angeles City Schools and 
finally the Concordia School District for the past 30 years. She taught 
music, chemistry and science.
  Additionally, she has held many positions in the Missouri Association 
of Public Administrators, ending with President from 2006-2008.
  Martha is concluding her service as Public Administrator in Lafayette 
County. I am certain that the Members of the House will join me in 
thanking her for her leadership and hard work in the Lafayette County 
community.
