                     CONGRATULATING ALFRED BRODSKY

                                 ______


                      HON. GEORGE J. HOCHBRUECKNER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 27, 1994

  Mr. HOCHBRUECKNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Alfred 
Irwin Brodsky, affectionately known as Buby, who, at the age of 84 
years old, will celebrate his bar mitzvah on July 30.
  Born on August 19, 1910, Buby Brodsky has lived his entire life 
around the New York metropolitan area. Married to Dolly Lefkowitz for 
more than 40 years, Mr. Brodsky has thrived in a number of occupations, 
including the delivery of milk, door to door, by horse and wagon, sales 
for Nabisco, the ownership of his own grocery store, and finally 
returning to the milk industry from which he retired after holding a 
management position with Dellwood Milk.
  Since his retirement, Mr. Brodsky has dedicated his time toward 
volunteer work. Along the being a volunteer at the Long Island Jewish 
Medical Center, Mr. Brodsky also volunteers for the New York City 
Senior Nutrition Program, known as SNAP. With SNAP, he has been 
certified as a blood pressure technician and provides free blood 
pressure screenings for senior citizens. In addition, Mr. Brodsky 
serves meals to senior citizens at their community center and prepares 
meals to be delivered to homebound seniors. Finally, Mr. Brodsky 
performs in musical shows that travel to various nursing homes. These 
shows serve to bring cheer to those seniors incapable of leaving their 
facilities.
  After studying for more than 2 years, Buby Brodsky will fulfill a 
lifelong dream of having a bar mitzvah. He will be joined on this 
momentous occasion by his wife Dolly, his two sons, his daughter-in-
law, six of his grandchildren and two of their spouses, two great 
grandchildren, and many of his friends from SNAP.
  Mr. Speaker, it is apparent that Alfred Irwin Brodsky is truly a 
special person. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. 
Brodsky for touching the lives of so many and fulfilling his lifelong 
dream.
