                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ruth Sibler, 
a dedicated public servant for 26 years.
  Ruth Sibler is a volunteer at Public School 273 in New York City. She 
was born in Brooklyn, New York and has lived in Brooklyn for seventy-
three years.
  Ms. Sibler has worked diligently for the Teamster's Union for the 26 
years prior to her retirement, and death of her husband, Mr. Sibler. 
Following her retirement, Ms. Sibler volunteered with P.S. 273 to 
assist in the library.
  Ms. Sibler considers volunteering in school the ``love of her life'', 
along with her children and grand-children, and brings a constant 
youthful insightfulness to her volunteer work.
  Madam Speaker, Please join me in recognizing Ruth Sibler for her time 
and dedication to public service.

                          ____________________
