the NARFE Maryland Federation. I earned my bachelor’s degree and credits
towards my master’s degrees in philosophy, mathematics and physics. I

began my federal employment as a Claims Representative in the SSA Buffalo,
New York, District office. I took time from Federal Service to join the United
States Army. Following my military service, I returned to SSA Headquarters
in the Budget Office. I managed six SSA Centers in various cities and the

Foreign Claims Center at SSA Headquarters. In my 30 years in the federal
government, I have been a Budget Officer, Planning Director, and Director of
the Headquarters Staff, among other high-level positions of responsibility.

Over my career, I have lectured for over 700 hours at Seminars and Training
Courses, to guide students and colleagues to serve our fellow Americans with
integrity and compassion.

I am Mary Breland and I served in the Social Security Administration for 38
years. I worked at SSA during a critical time, at the start of the Medicare

program. I dealt with the American public, assisted them in applying for all
types of benefits, and performed my job with compassion and high technical
skill. I knew the livelihood of many was dependent on our Agency, so I went
the extra mile, doing more than a satisfactory job. The public should be able

to depend on their Social Security Benefits. During my time of employment
in federal service, the American public could depend on me.

I am Daniel T. Bridgewater and I served in the Social Security
Administration for over 41 years. I worked in several different capacities in
SSA over my career. The most significant part of my career was my work as
a webmaster, both with the agency’s Internet and Intranet. For the Internet, I

revised the gateway page for Regulations and was later part of the team that
instituted online commenting upon our proposed regulations (in advance of
the government-wide Office of Regulations). I also developed a gateway page

for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, providing links to
information about SSI. This work included putting the handbook
“Understanding SSI” online (the Spanish translation as well). I am very proud
of the work I did to provide digital information to the public throughout my

career as a webmaster. It was a constantly changing environment, and I liked
dealing with the changes.

I am Donald E. Champ and I served in the Social Security Administration
from 1960 until my retirement in 1986. I was hired during the administration
