                         Tuesday, June 14, 2011

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise today to honor 
and thank Mr. Lloyd Ramer for an outstanding 42-year career of serving 
in public education as Superintendent of the Dyersburg City Schools. 
Mr. Ramer will retire from service as Superintendent on June 7, 2011. 
We celebrate his accomplishments and wish him well in his future 
endeavors.
  As an exceptional leader and education advocate, Mr. Ramer began with 
the Dyersburg School System in 1969. He has functioned in numerous 
roles ranging from a contemporary studies teacher, acting director, 
basketball coach, curriculum coordinator, and assistant superintendent. 
In 1994, Mr. Ramer accepted the responsibility of Superintendent, 
demonstrating what a colleague calls his ``driving commitment to 
excellence and his continued quest for quality educational 
opportunities for our students.'' His commitment has been proven by 
spending all 42 years of his career working for the Dyersburg City 
Schools. His years of working with the city schools prove his 
tremendous commitment to public education.
  On behalf of the House of Representatives, I want to thank Mr. Ramer 
for encouraging thousands of young Americans to achieve their fullest 
potential.
  Please join me in honoring Mr. Lloyd Ramer upon his retirement from 
public education.
