  Ms. JONES of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish a very happy 
birthday to a retired teacher in my district, Gladys Cooke. Born on 
December 17, 1938, Gladys was the third child of Jessie Mae and Robert 
Jones.
  She graduated from Parker High School and Miles College in 
Birmingham, Alabama, and became a teacher in the Detroit school system, 
where she taught math at Cass Technical High School, Mumford High 
School, and Cooley High School. As a young woman she was featured in 
Ebony Magazine.
  She has 3 brothers and 4 sisters, one of whom is deceased. She is the 
proud mother of Dr. Tiffany A. Cook of Atlanta, Georgia.
  She will be celebrating her 80th Birthday next week with friends, 
family, and loved ones at Joe Muer Seafood at the Renaissance Center in 
Detroit.
