                         Tuesday, July 7, 2015

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
Barbara Ann Poland Harris of West Palm Beach, Florida, who turned 84 
years old on June 29th, 2015.
  Barbara, who was born in Steubenville, Ohio, is a lifelong educator, 
member of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority, and loving mother of two sons. 
Barbara moved to Florida in 1954 to teach and coach basketball at St. 
Patrick's Catholic School in Miami Beach. She went on to teach at 
Watkin B. Duncan Middle School in 1965, where she taught until her 
retirement in 1995. While teaching at the middle school, Barbara was 
named teacher of the month, had a yearbook dedication in her name, and 
was a tennis coach and avid sports supporter. After her retirement 
Barbara traveled extensively across Europe and Asia.
  I am proud to represent Barbara in Florida's 22nd District. I join 
with her friends and family in celebrating her birthday. I wish her 
good health and continued success in the coming years.
