  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Cynthia 
Gray Hathaway on her retirement and recognize her years of 
distinguished service with the Third Judicial Circuit Court of 
Michigan. Her contributions to our community are worthy of 
commendation.
  Cynthia Gray Hathaway received her bachelor's degree in business 
administration from Wayne State University and earned her master's 
degree in criminal justice from the University of Detroit. While 
working toward her master's, Hathaway simultaneously was employed by 
the Detroit Recorder's Court Probation Department where she became 
intrigued about law. Later, Hathaway pursued this interest and received 
her law degree from the Detroit College of Law.
  Cynthia Gray Hathaway has become a cornerstone of our Michigan 
community. As a judge of the Third Circuit Court in Wayne County, 
Hathaway's commitment to justice and the residents of Michigan has made 
a difference. Beyond her work in a professional capacity, Hathaway has 
also been a dedicated community member who is active in the NAACP, 
Detroit Urban League, the Women's Economic Club, and the Reggie 
McKenzie Foundation, among many others. Hathaway is known for her high 
degree of professionalism, kind demeanor, and passion for helping 
everyone she encounters. She has demonstrated her commitment to the 
entire Michigan community, and it my honor and privilege to recognize 
her distinguished work today.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Cynthia 
Gray Hathaway as she retires from the Third Circuit Court. We thank her 
for her many years of service and leadership and wish her the best of 
luck in all future endeavors.
