                         Tuesday, June 18, 2013

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Chaplain Margaret Ann Beale.
  Chaplain Beale is the 4th out of 10 children. She was born in Pine 
Bluff, Arkansas, but was raised in Helm, Mississippi, where she has 
lived all of her life. She has 3 children: Steve, Felecia and Ashley; 4 
grandchildren; and 1 great-grandchild.
  She is a 1966 graduate from Briech High School in Leland, 
Mississippi. After high school, she worked various jobs, but it was not 
until 2007, when she became a librarian assistant. As of today, she is 
still holding this position where she has to do clerical work, 
organizing, stocking, hosting events, and assisting the public with 
their needs.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Chaplain 
Margaret Beale for her dedication to serving others.

                          ____________________
