                       HONORING GEORGIE O'CONNOR

                                 ______

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mrs. CAPPS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent 
Georgie O'Connor from San Luis Obispo County.
  Georgie is retiring from the Lucia Mar Unified School District, after 
having served since its formation in 1965. Her almost 50 years of 
service on the school board is a California State record for the 
longest-serving school board member, as confirmed by the California 
School Boards Association.
  Georgie is a local treasure who has dedicated her career to ensuring 
high standards and a quality education for the young people in San Luis 
Obispo County.

  Over her tenure, Georgie has watched multiple generations of students 
make their way through and graduate from Lucia Mar, including many 
current teachers and administrators. Through it all, she has never lost 
sight of the invaluable importance of a rigorous education for our 
nation's young people.
  She is a true public servant, and it gives me great pleasure on 
behalf of the Lucia Mar Unified School District Community to thank her 
for her dedicated service today. I wish her much rest and relaxation in 
her well-deserved retirement!
  Thank you and I yield back.
