              RECOGNIZING SUE DAUGHERTY'S LIFETIME OF WORK

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, during this week of the State of the Union 
Address, I rise today to recognize the lifetime of work of Sue 
Daugherty, a champion for seniors across Ohio.
  Sue and I are cheering the 8.7 percent cost of living increase for 
seniors under Social Security and a cap on insulin costs for seniors at 
$35 per month.
  Sue serves as the founding executive director of Serving Our Seniors, 
a nonprofit organization located in Sandusky, Ohio, that supports Erie 
County seniors as they progress in life.
  Ms. Daugherty's passion for gerontology was born out of her 
experience as a nursing assistant in the summer following her freshman 
year at Ohio University. She went on to receive her bachelor's degree 
from Ohio University and earned her master of public administration 
from Cleveland State University.
  Sue has utilized her knowledge and experience to create an excellent 
and friendly network for aging Ohioans to receive better treatment and 
resources as they age. She helped establish a system for seniors to 
seek proactive care instead of reactive care.
  Ms. Daugherty has received nearly a dozen community service awards of 
excellence throughout her career, including the 2002 Acts of Caring 
Award from the National Association of Counties.
  I am honored to honor her lifetime of achievement and her work. 
Today, all of America salutes Ohioan Sue Daugherty. I thank her so much 
for her service to America.
