                         Tuesday, June 10, 2003

  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to recognize Dr. Daniel W. Ivascyn, a constituent of the 
second district of Massachusetts, for his countless years of dedication 
to the town of Oxford and Oxford public school system.
  Dr. Ivascyn is retiring this year after 34 years of devoted 
employment.
  Dr. Ivascyn began his extraordinary career in September 1969 when he 
became Business Manager of Oxford. He was later on promoted in 1975 to 
become Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs. He continued his 
steady climb up the chain of command in 1996 where he was appointed to 
the prestigious position of Superintendent of Schools.
  Dr. Ivascyn used his leadership role as a way to further escalate the 
growth and success of the Oxford public school system. Some recent 
notable accomplishments include assisting in the construction of a new 
Oxford High School in 2002, and the newly renovation of Barton and 
Chaffee Elementary Schools.
  Dr. lvascyn's dedication and desire to better the Oxford community 
serves as an admirable example to all American citizens. I am delighted 
to honor Dr. lvascyn's accomplishments and service to the second 
district of Massachusetts. His hard work and dedication will be greatly 
missed.
