[Congressional Record Volume 140, Number 68 (Thursday, May 26, 1994)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [Congressional Record: May 26, 1994] From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] TRIBUTE TO MRS. ANNE MACK ______ HON. GEORGE (BUDDY) DARDEN of georgia in the house of representatives Wednesday, May 25, 1994 Mr. DARDEN. Mr. Speaker, one of the most important issues facing our Nation today is the education of our young people. Today I rise to honor a good friend of the young people, and all the people, of Marietta, GA, who has dedicated her adult life to teaching children. Mr. Speaker, her name is Anne Mack, and today she is retiring from a 30-year teaching career. During those entire 30 years, she taught first-graders in Marietta, first at Lemon Street Elementary School and then at Hickory Hills School. It is a fitting time to pause and reflect on the immeasurable contributions she has made to our community. The success of Mrs. Mack's 30 years as a first-grade teacher is evidenced by the hundreds of children whose lives she influenced and enriched. Two of those hundreds of children, Mr. Speaker, are my children. They still remember Mrs. Mack vividly and fondly. Also, her success as a teacher and community leader can be seen through her selection as one of the Outstanding Young Women of America, an honor she received in 1971. And on two occasions, she was selected as Hickory Hills School's Teacher of the Year. From what I have learned, Mrs. Mack will now have more time to spend in her garden, which she greatly enjoys. Her retirement will also free her to expand her role as paster to her flock. Mrs. Mack and her husband Edgar (Johnny) Mack are copastors of the Sword of the Word Evangelistic Ministry in East Point, GA. And just as importantly, Mrs. Mack will have more time for her grandson, Austin Christopher McClendon. We in Marietta are proud of Mrs. Mack's work over three decades. She has helped in a large way to make our community an exceptionally good place to live. On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I acknowledge her accomplishments by entering these remarks into the Congressional Record and Archives of the 103d Congress and declare today ``Anne Mack Day'' at Hickory Hills School in Marietta. ____________________
