                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 21, 2006

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it has come to my attention that a long and 
exceptionally distinguished career in education has come to a close. 
Ray Sutherland retired from his position after 31 years last spring.
  A graduate from Central Missouri State University, Mr. Sutherland has 
been highly respected in his many years of teaching and administrative 
duties.
  Mr. Sutherland is well known for his sense of humor and ability to 
maintain good relationships with all of his students. During his 
career, he was admired by his students and has treated all before him 
with the same sense of justice and respect.
  In 1971, Mr. Sutherland graduated from Higginsville High School. 
After graduating from Central Missouri State University in 1975, he 
began teaching Industrial Arts at Higginsville High School. In 1990, he 
was named Principal of Lafayette County C-1 Middle School.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Ray Sutherland all the best as he moves on to the 
next step in his life. I know the Members of the House will join me in 
wishing him all the best in the days ahead.
