                        Wednesday, June 30, 2010

  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Brenda 
Marie Page, who is retiring after more than two decades of dedicated 
service as Clerk and Master of Tennesssee's 18th Judicial District.
  A lifetime Middle Tennessean, Brenda attended Maplewood High School, 
then earned her degree at Middle Tennessee State University, my own 
alma mater. She began her career at Tennessee's Department of Education 
and went on to work as a secretary at Volunteer State Community 
College. Then-Dean of Students Tom E. Gray recognized her abilities and 
brought her in as secretary upon being elected judge, then Chancellor 
of Sumner County.
  Brenda was appointed to the constitutional office of Clerk and Master 
of the 18th Judicial District in 1988. In her role as Clerk and Master, 
Brenda has worn many hats. In addition to overseeing the operations and 
budget of the Clerk's office, Brenda is appointed Special Master in 
cases involving the division of property. She has played critical roles 
in the execution of thousands of civil and domestic cases throughout 
her 22 years of service.
  Outside of her contributions to the district, Brenda has served as a 
division president of the State Court Clerk's Association and an active 
member of the County Officials Association of Sumner County. She has 
also served as treasurer of the Sumner County Democratic Party and has 
been a valued organizer for many years.
  Brenda, I hope you enjoy a long and happy retirement with your 
husband, Robert, and your children and grandchildren. I wish you all 
the best.
