                CELEBRATING THE SERVICE OF MICHAEL SHORT

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, as we celebrate Teacher 
Appreciation Week, I rise to celebrate Michael Short on his retirement 
after 44 years of inspiring students in music in Orange Unified School 
District.
  A Chapman University and Cal State Fullerton graduate, Mr. Short has 
been involved in Orange Unified School District music since the mid-
1970s, from elementary and middle schools to Orange High School, to 
Santiago Canyon College, and much more.
  He has directed several musicals, led choirs, and received several 
awards for his work as an outstanding music educator.
  Mr. Short has inspired generations of students in California's 40th 
District across Orange County and beyond.
  I thank Mr. Short for his dedication and his outstanding career to 
the community, teaching and inspiring students through music.
  I wish him the best in his retirement, and much enjoyment spending 
time with his family; his wife, Vicki, his kids, and his grandkids.
