Tribute To Susan Black Elwell May 10, 2012
Chris Van Hollen, D-MD
"Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Susan Black Elwell, a constituent and a woman of strength, courage, and vision. I am sad to say that Susan just lost her life to cancer, but, until her very last weeks, she used her life to make a difference in the lives of others. From her work as a founder and director of an innovative neighborhood nursery school and her visionary leadership of the largest and oldest women's political club in Maryland, to her service as a Peace Corps volunteer, Susan sought to enlighten and engage others through education and activism."
