TRIBUTE TO LINDA KAUFMAN
Ms. WARREN. Madam President, I rise today to share a few words
in honor of the 90th birthday of a dear friend Linda Kaufman. As she
celebrates this impressive milestone, I extend my best wishes to Anne
and her family for a happy celebration.
Ms. Kaufman was born in January of 1935 in Massachusetts. She
attended Smith College and worked as a teacher for 40 years, 32 of
those years spent teaching history at Buckingham Browne and Nichols
School in Cambridge. She has also served as reader, table leader, and
member of the test development committee for the Advanced Placement
European History Examination of the College Board. Linda never stopped
teaching and learning history; after retiring, she took many online
courses at Harvard and mentored former students, always staying up to
date with their many accomplishments.
Ms. Kaufman is married to her best friend Andrew Kaufman, a professor
at Harvard Law School. Together, they raised four children; Anne,
David, Daniel, and Elizabeth. Outside of teaching, Linda was active in
her community in Cambridge, dedicating free time to helping individuals
prepare for the American citizenship exam and spending time with her
grandchildren.
Linda Kaufman is a true lifelong learner and public servant. I am
incredibly pleased to honor this momentous event in Linda's life and
wish her joy in the years to come.
