                        HONORING THE BERLOFSKYS

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I honor two 
good friends and neighbors, Miriam and Jerome Berlofsky, who are 
celebrating 35 years of marriage this November.
  The Berlofskys have been active and vital citizens in my home 
community of Co-op City, where they have been affiliated with several 
Bronx organizations. Since 1951, Jerome has been a knight in the 
Fraternal Order Knights of Pythias, Kingsbridge Lodge No. 810, and has 
participated in many of the altruistic endeavors of that organization. 
Miriam joined the Pythias Sisters in 1960 and has worked tirelessly and 
held many titles, culminating in her election as grand chief of the 
State of New York in 1984.
  The Berlofskys have also always been active in the Jewish faith, 
having joined the membership of the Traditional Synagogue of Co-op City 
and holding several important positions. They are charter members of 
the AARP Co-op City chapter and they bring culture and entertainment to 
the community as members of the Bronx Concert Singers.
  This is just a partial list of the many good deeds performed by the 
Berlofskys. Perhaps more than anything else, however, they are most 
proud of their enduring love and the joy they have had in raising their 
son, Rodger. That is why the anniversary they are celebrating this year 
is so special, and why I join their family and friends in wishing them 
happiness and good health.
