  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Brad and Sue Penney, 
and congratulate them on retiring after 30 years of service to the Levy 
County School system. Brad and Sue both began their careers at Cedar 
Key School in 1988, the very school that they are retiring from on May 
31st. They have led a life of service to Levy County and represent the 
best of America.
  Sue spent her career instilling a love of books and reading in 
students in the library and media center. She also served as a 
substitute teacher, assisting teachers and students of all ages. She 
went above and beyond for her students over the years, serving as a 
class and club sponsor, track coach, and cheerleading coach. She 
received ESP of the Year for the second time this year.
  Brad began his career as the janitor, moving into the roles of 
physical education teacher, and computer lab specialist. He then went 
back to school to earn his teaching degree; going on to teach history, 
social sciences, and Spanish. Throughout his time in education, he also 
served as the track and basketball coach, as well as Athletic Director 
and Assistant Principal. He was awarded Teacher of the Year, as well as 
Teacher of the District in 2006-2007.
  Brad and Sue have 4 daughters, all of whom graduated from the same 
school where they teach.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Sue and Brad Penney on 
their retirement and thanking them for their dedication to enriching 
the lives of students across the Second District of Florida.
