                        HONORING JOAN QUATERMAN

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Joan 
Quaterman, a remarkable woman who has dedicated 52 years of service to 
the city of Savannah.
  As a longtime employee of the Leisure Services Bureau, she played a 
vital role in shaping the lives of countless children and families.
  For decades, she was a beloved figure at Hull Park, leading summer 
programs that provided a safe, welcoming space for young people to 
learn, grow, and have fun. Through games, activities, and free lunches, 
she ensured that every child felt valued and supported regardless of 
their background.
  Ms. Quaterman was more than just a city employee. She was a mentor, 
role model, and constant presence in the lives of many. Her kindness, 
patience, and dedication left a lasting imprint on our community, and 
her impact will be felt for generations to come. Her work reflects the 
very best of public service, selflessness, commitment, and unwavering 
devotion to others.
  Today, we congratulate Ms. Quaterman on her well-earned retirement 
and thank her for more than five decades of service.
