Speaker 5: Thank you. This is an item that I asked my council colleagues to support. Ms.. Van Bloom left an imprint on our city as an inductee of the Wilson High School, Long Beach State Century Club and National Rowing Hall of Fame. She was the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic medal in rowing after taking the silver in Montreal in 1976 and silver again in 1984. In addition to her career in rowing, Joan also served the Long Beach Unified School District for over three decades 25 years as a teacher, and then another decade as the district's first physical education curriculum leader. This bill gives proper recognition to an outstanding leader and member of our community who dedicated her life to education and the sport of rowing. I ask my council colleagues to support this this particular item. Thank you.
