  HONORING THE TEACHING CAREER OF MRS. ARLENE CORY OF PENN CHRISTIAN 
                                ACADEMY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 16, 2008

  Mr. GERLACH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 37 years of 
inspiring and motivational teaching of Mrs. Arlene Cory of Penn 
Christian Academy located in East Norriton Township, Montgomery County, 
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Cory will be honored with a well-deserved retirement 
dinner on April 29, 2008, at Presidential Caterers in the township.
  Ms. Cory began her career at Penn Christian Academy in 1971 and she 
is now teaching a second generation of students. Alumni who have 
learned of Mrs. Cory's coming departure have expressed regret that she 
will not be their children's teacher one day. She is loved, admired and 
respected by many. Her friends will tell you that this is due to her 
kind heart and her willingness to always lend a helping hand.
  In 1985, along with her long-time co-worker Linda Kuntz, Ms. Cory was 
dubbed a ``teacher extraordinaire''. I'm sure the thousands of children 
whose lives she has touched over the years could not agree more.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in thanking 
Mrs. Arlene Cory for her exemplary service to the children of Penn 
Christian Academy. May her teaching career be an inspiration to us all.

                          ____________________
