  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize Mrs. Sue Bricker Dorn as she celebrates her 85th birthday 
this weekend. A longtime resident of New York City, Mrs. Dorn has 
fulfilled the finest American traditions of family, faith and service 
to community.
  Born on April 21, 1934 to Barney and Frances Bricker in Seattle, 
Washington, Mrs. Dorn was raised in Seattle, Washington and Portland, 
Oregon. In 1955, Mrs. Dorn graduated from Stanford University, where 
she met and later married Philip Henry Dorn. As the Dorns settled in 
Southern California and Michigan for his work in the burgeoning 
computer industry, she got involved in the local community. Most 
notably, in Warren, Michigan, Mrs. Dorn was elected President of the 
League of Women Voters and was even selected as Warren's ``Man of the 
Year.'' Mrs. Dorn later earned a Master of Science degree from the Bank 
Street College of Education and served on the College's Board of 
Trustees.
  Mrs. Dorn began her career as a public-school teacher in Long Island 
City, where she taught students with special needs. Later in her 
career, she pivoted to the development industry, where she served in 
high-level roles for some of the world's major cultural institutions 
including Yale University, the Museum of Modern Art, the Aspen 
Institute and New York Hospital. Mrs. Dorn was also appointed to the 
Regional Selection Panel of the President's Commission on White House 
Fellowships. In the years since retiring, she has become a tireless 
volunteer in New York City, including with Central Synagogue, where she 
sits on the Social Action Committee. She also played an instrumental 
effort in the creation of New York's municipal ID program.
  Finally, Mrs. Dorn is the matriarch of a proud family. For nearly 40 
years she shared a loving marriage with Philip Dorn. Whether known as 
``Mom,'' ``Nana,'' ``Tante,'' or another title, Mrs. Dorn's home and 
ear are always open to her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, three 
grandchildren, five grandnieces and nephews and more. Mrs. Dorn also 
remains close with her siblings Monte and Nadine, with whom she 
regularly travels. In her spare time, she enjoys patronizing Lincoln 
Center, the Metropolitan Opera and attending the theatre.
  We are grateful for the spirit and service of Mrs. Dorn. Her life has 
been a blessing to so many in our local community, and it is an honor 
to celebrate her 85th birthday.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sue Bricker 
Dorn. Her life has been dedicated to family, faith, and serving others.
