                        Thursday, April 10, 2008

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise 
today to recognize Mrs. Kathleen Wilbur, who is being honored with the 
renaming of the Range Hill Elementary School to Kathleen H. Wilbur 
Elementary School. Kathleen was selected for this honor because of her 
dedication and service to the Delaware public school system for the 
last 48 years.
  Kathleen has been instrumental throughout her years of service to the 
Delaware public school system. Through her 20 years of service on the 
Board of Education in New Castle County's Colonial School District as 
both the Vice-President and President, Kathleen played an extremely 
active role in key decisions that have affected thousands of students' 
lives. Kathleen remains active working with the schools in Delaware, 
and she continues to volunteer with students with disabilities at the 
John G. Leach School.
  Kathleen was honored by the Delaware School Boards Association 
throughout her dedicated years of service, as she served as a member, 
chair, and eventually president of the association. She also served the 
association as Delaware's State representative delegate to the National 
School Boards Association. Kathleen received the Boardmanship 
Certificate every year they have ever been presented due to her 
relentless service to the Delaware School Boards Association. In 1993, 
the Delaware School Boards awarded Kathleen the Distinguished Service 
Award for her 33 years of service. The National School Boards 
Association honored her with the Distinguished Service Award in 1999.
  Once again, I would like to acknowledge Mrs. Kathleen Wilbur for her 
many years of service and numerous contributions to the State of 
Delaware. She has been an invaluable asset to the Delaware public 
school system and positively impacted the lives of thousands of 
Delaware students.
