            FRED GEORGES' 90TH BIRTHDAY--HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD

  (Ms. ESHOO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who 
celebrates a milestone, 90 years of life. He is a good man who was 
shaped by faith, faith in his God, his family, his friends, his 
community, and his country. He traveled thousands of miles to this 
land, huddled by his mother's side, fleeing oppression.
  He studied, learned, excelled, and worked and became one of the best 
watchmakers and jewelers around. He married, raised and loved three 
children and four grandchildren. He prays at Mass daily, puts up the 
American flag in front of his home, sings the praises of his country 
and party, and loves a heated debate. His acts of charity and 
generosity are known and admired by many and his love of driving is now 
legendary.
  He is an extraordinary man, a solid soul and a solid citizen. This 
man is my father, Fred Georges. Happy birthday, dad, and God bless you.
