                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ruth Silber, 
a dedicated public servant for 26 years.
  Ruth Silber is a volunteer at Public School 273 in New York City. She 
was born in Brooklyn, New York and has lived in Brooklyn for eighty-
three years.
  Mrs. Silber has worked diligently for the Teamster's Union for the 26 
years prior to her retirement, and death of her husband, Mr. Silber. 
Following her retirement, Mrs. Silber volunteered with P.S. 273 to 
assist in the library.
  Mrs. Silber 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 Silber for her time 
and dedication to public service.
