  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor Mrs. Shirley Sisco Vaughn on the occasion of her 
retirement from teaching after serving the people of Mobile County and 
Alabama's First District for 44 years.
  During her distinguished teaching career in Mobile, Mrs. Vaughn 
served as a teacher for Mobile County Public Schools, Mobile Christian 
School, and Faulkner University. She also taught in the National 
Guard's extended education program. Many years of her personal

sacrifice and dedication have benefited our community and our service 
members in the military.
  Mrs. Vaughn has also been a devoted mother to her two sons, John and 
Robert Bogle. Mrs. Vaughn has humbly guided thousands of lives 
throughout her career, and it is with great honor that I rise today to 
recognize her service.
  Madam Speaker, there are few individuals more important to the 
development of our young men and women in this country than those who 
commit themselves to educating children. Mrs. Shirley Vaughn is an 
outstanding example of the quality individuals who have devoted their 
lives to the field of education, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating a dedicated teacher and friend to many throughout south 
Alabama. I know Mrs. Vaughn's colleagues, her family, and her many 
friends and former students join with me in praising her 
accomplishments and extending thanks for her many efforts over the past 
four decades on behalf of Mobile County and the First Congressional 
District.
