  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lois Gerage-
Lamb, a dedicated educator at Lakewood Elementary in Dallas, Texas who 
is retiring this year.
  After moving to Lakewood in the early 1980s, Lois joined the staff at 
Lakewood Elementary in 1987. Her twenty-four years of service speak 
loudly of her patience, dedication, and passion for teaching. Both of 
my sons, Bill and Alex, had the privilege of having Lois as their 
teacher. Her commitment to providing students with a quality education 
was evident in her work ethic and enthusiasm. Known for her upbeat 
personality and ``can-do'' philosophy, Lois has instilled confidence in 
her students and inspired them to reach for their dreams.
  Outside of the classroom, Lois is a well-known community leader. She 
currently serves as the President of Little People of America, Inc. 
(LPA), a national advocacy and support group for dwarfs and their 
families. In this capacity, she has oversees the 6,000 member 
organization and works tirelessly to raise awareness. Lois is a 
demonstrated leader with tremendous strength and great fervor and 
compassion.
  She will be greatly missed at Lakewood Elementary. I am thankful for 
dedicated educators like Lois and for the positive impact they have on 
our children. Mr. Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in 
recognizing Lois for her service. I wish her all the best in her future 
endeavors.
