I rise today to salute my dear friend Margaret "Maggie" Schelen because of the outstanding contributions she has made to the community and the help she has given me which has enhanced my ability to serve my constituents. Maggie was born in Philadelphia to Charles and Mary Ring. The second daughter and third child of Armenian immigrants who came to America seeking refuge from the oppression and tyranny of the Ottoman Empire. The Ring family moved to California when Maggie was 2 months old. The climate was more like the "old country." Maggies parents instilled a love of reading in her.
