  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to a 
truly outstanding individual, my constituent, Corrine Gunther of 
Morristown. On April 16, Corrine's friends and family will honor her 
contributions and accomplishments as The Zonta Club of Morristown 
presents her with the ``Woman of the Year'' award.
  Corrine Gunther was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She went on to 
attend Oberlin College and obtained a degree in English and 
Anthropology. She used her education to become a teacher and taught 
first grade at a school in Long Island, where she also coached field 
hockey, lacrosse and basketball. Later, Corrine served as a Research 
Associate for a Federal grant at Fairleigh Dickinson University on a 
volunteerism in government project, and changed careers again to become 
Executive Director of the Visiting Health Service of Morris County 
where she served for fourteen years.
  In addition to her professional accomplishments, Corrine has served 
her communities as a volunteer in a multitude of ways. Throughout her 
years of service she has served as the Chairman of the N.J. Home Care 
Committee for the White House Conference on Aging; as Vice Chairman of 
the Human Services Advisory Council; as a Board Member of First Call 
for Help, an information and referral service; and as a peer reviewer 
for the National Home Care Council. Corrine was also past President of 
NORWESCAP, an umbrella agency for five counties, overseeing 54 action 
service programs; past President of the League of Women Voters of the 
Morris Area and the Morris County League; and also as a charter member 
and past President of The Human Services Association of Morris County.
  Corrine Gunther has been a member of The Zonta Club of Morristown for 
the last twenty six years and is a past President. Zonta International 
is a worldwide service organization of women executives in business and 
the professions working together to advance the status of women.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Corrine for all of her past achievements 
and hope my colleagues will join me in congratulating her on her honor, 
and all of the accomplishments and service she has performed throughout 
her life!
