  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to 
congratulate Dan Fisher, the superintendent for the Bald Eagle School 
District in Centre County, Pennsylvania, on his upcoming retirement and 
for his 40 years of education service. Dan Fisher began his education 
career at Bald Eagle Area School District as a teacher in 1973. I had 
the privilege of having Mr. Fisher as a teacher, where I first learned 
the workings of government in a constitutional Republic. Dan later went 
on to become the assistant principal in 1982, the assistant 
superintendent in 1985, and the district superintendent in 1989, where 
he served for 23 years.
  I have had the honor of serving on the Bald Eagle Area School Board 
with Mr. Fisher's leadership as superintendent. Dan has been a 
visionary for education and improving educational

very best in retirement.
