                              JOHN C. CARY

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
achievements of a distinguished member of the Missouri education 
community, Mr. John C. Cary.
  Mr. Cary is retiring this year after 17 years of distinguished 
service to the children and families of the Mehlville school district. 
As superintendent of schools for the Mehlville district he has guided 
the district to academic success, ensuring quality education for all 
Mehlville children. He has helped nurture Missouri's youth with a 
steadfast dedication and care. His devotion to education has earned him 
awards and recognition from around the State, including the Distinction 
in Performance Award for 2002-2003 school year.
  Mr. Cary's lifetime commitment to education and children is admirable 
and inspiring. Today I join with the 12,000 students in the Mehlville 
school district in celebrating his 31 years as a distinguished 
educator. I thank him for his hard work and dedication to the children 
and families of Missouri.
