                    TRIBUTE TO ``MISS ROXIE'' GIBSON

 Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. President, today I wish to acknowledge the 
well-deserved retirement of Nashville, Tennessee's own Roxie Gibson.
  Roxie, or, ``Miss Roxie,'' as we all know her, dedicated her 
professional life to the service and support of her church, community, 
and the children who fill the halls each weekday at Oak Hill School in 
Nashville.
  In a time when acts of kindness are more often than not eclipsed by 
the

drama and bustle of everyday life, Miss Roxie taught generations of 
students--and their parents and neighbors, too--to value curiosity and 
a loving spirit and to never take friendship for granted. Her smiling 
face will be missed around the halls of Oak Hill School.
  She is truly irreplaceable.
  I ask my colleagues to join with me in wishing Miss Roxie a happy and 
fulfilling retirement.
