                    TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN L. WILBERDING

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 7, 2000

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Carolyn L. 
Wilberding, who has recently retired as an elementary school teacher 
from the 4th Congressional District of Michigan.
  It has been said that a teacher effects eternity, she can never tell 
where her influence ends. These words certainly apply to Carolyn L. 
Wilberding. For over three decades, Carolyn educated hundreds of Mid-
Michigan's elementary school children. Not only was she seen as a 
leader by her peers but an educator by her students. Her positive 
impact on her students and their families is truly incalculable.
  Mrs. Wilberding retires knowing she achieved that intangible, often 
elusive goal that haunts the careers of many, she made a difference.
  I would like to commend Mrs. Wilberding for her service to her 
students and congratulate her on her retirement.
  Mrs. Wilberding's contribution to education and the community make 
her an outstanding role model and a respected professional in her 
field. On behalf of the residents of the 4th Congressional District of 
Michigan, I am honored to recognize Mrs. Wilberding and her 
accomplishments.
