  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to recognize Dr. Judith Gedney Tobin, who is to be inducted into 
the Hall of Fame of Delaware Women for her remarkable accomplishments 
in the field of forensic pathology.
  Dr. Tobin demonstrated expertise and longevity as a pathologist, 
working as the Assistant Delaware State Medical Examiner from 1964 to 
2009. She became the only woman to serve as President of the Nanticoke 
Hospital Medical Staff and the first woman to be inducted into the 
Nanticoke Hospital's Physician Hall of Fame. In 2006, Dr. Tobin was 
recognized for her leadership and contributions to the discipline of 
pathology when the Delaware Division of Health and Human Services named 
the Southern Office of the Chief Medical Examiner building in her 
honor. She was appointed by the Governor of Delaware to the Board of 
Medical Practice, served on the Board of the Delaware Institute of 
Medical Education and Research, and in 1985 was awarded the 
Distinguished Service Award for her professional contributions.
  Dr. Tobin has been the recipient of many awards for her role as a 
leader, role model and advocate for her profession and in her 
community. Her impact as a forensic pathologist will forever be 
remembered by the countless number of people who were affected by her 
work. In addition, she helped found the Western Sussex Boys and Girls 
Club, and served on the boards of the Blood Bank, American Cancer 
Society, as well as Children and Family First.
  Dr. Tobin succeeded and thrived in an extremely challenging medical 
field, and contributed so much as a volunteer and citizen. I am 
grateful for her service to the State of Delaware, and wish her all the 
best as she accepts the well-earned honor of being inducted into the 
Hall of Fame of Delaware Women.
