IN HONOR OF SUE BRICKER DORN'S 85TH BIRTHDAY
______
HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY
of new york
in the house of representatives
Friday, March 29, 2019
Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to
recognize Mrs. Sue Bricker Dorn as she celebrates her 85th birthday
this weekend. A longtime resident of New York City, Mrs. Dorn has
fulfilled the finest American traditions of family, faith and service
to community.
Born on April 21, 1934 to Barney and Frances Bricker in Seattle,
Washington, Mrs. Dorn was raised in Seattle, Washington and Portland,
Oregon. In 1955, Mrs. Dorn graduated from Stanford University, where
she met and later married Philip Henry Dorn. As the Dorns settled in
Southern California and Michigan for his work in the burgeoning
computer industry, she got involved in the local community. Most
notably, in Warren, Michigan, Mrs. Dorn was elected President of the
League of Women Voters and was even selected as Warren's ``Man of the
Year.'' Mrs. Dorn later earned a Master of Science degree from the Bank
Street College of Education and served on the College's Board of
Trustees.
Mrs. Dorn began her career as a public-school teacher in Long Island
City, where she taught students with special needs. Later in her
career, she pivoted to the development industry, where she served in
high-level roles for some of the world's major cultural institutions
including Yale University, the Museum of Modern Art, the Aspen
Institute and New York Hospital. Mrs. Dorn was also appointed to the
Regional Selection Panel of the President's Commission on White House
Fellowships. In the years since retiring, she has become a tireless
volunteer in New York City, including with Central Synagogue, where she
sits on the Social Action Committee. She also played an instrumental
effort in the creation of New York's municipal ID program.
Finally, Mrs. Dorn is the matriarch of a proud family. For nearly 40
years she shared a loving marriage with Philip Dorn. Whether known as
``Mom,'' ``Nana,'' ``Tante,'' or another title, Mrs. Dorn's home and
ear are always open to her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, three
grandchildren, five grandnieces and nephews and more. Mrs. Dorn also
remains close with her siblings Monte and Nadine, with whom she
regularly travels. In her spare time, she enjoys patronizing Lincoln
Center, the Metropolitan Opera and attending the theatre.
We are grateful for the spirit and service of Mrs. Dorn. Her life has
been a blessing to so many in our local community, and it is an honor
to celebrate her 85th birthday.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sue Bricker
Dorn. Her life has been dedicated to family, faith, and serving others.
