                          Monday, May 23, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and 
commitment of Tony Swafford and Betty Tunnicliff to the education 
community. Mr. Swafford and Ms. Tunnicliff has dedicated 33 and 23 
years of service, respectively, educating and mentoring our Nation's 
youth.
  Serving as both administrators and teachers, Mr. Swafford and Ms. 
Tunnicliff retire at the end of this school year. I would like to take 
this occasion to thank them for their years of promoting education and 
the youth of Denton.
  In taking time to direct the Denton Independent School District, both 
Tony and Betty established precedence in administrative standards that 
will not soon be forgotten. Their combined 56 years of work improved 
the quality of education in Denton; their excellence in academia 
influenced lives and molded bright futures.
  The loyalty in which both Tony Swafford and Betty Tunnicliff served 
their students and the Denton Independent School District is a 
testament to their genuine care for America's youth.
