                        Monday, January 30, 1995
  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations 
to Miles B. Borden on being named the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce 
1994 Man of the Year.
  Miles Borden, whose family settled in the community in the 1890's is 
a lifelong resident of Kings Park. His family was among the founding 
members of the Lucien Memorial United Methodist Church of Kings Park, 
where he is an active member of the board of trustees.
  He has been a member of the Kings Park Fire Department for 40 years 
and served as president of the department for 6 years. In 1956 he 
chaired the committee which established the ambulance squad.
  On December 31, 1994, he retired after serving 20 years as a 
volunteer trustee of the Smithtown Library boards of trustees. He is 
retired from a career as an assistant superintendent of the Amityville 
School District after 34 years in public education.
  An accomplished author and historian, he has researched and published 
two histories of Kings Park, ``The History of the Kings Park Fire 
Department'' and ``The First 100 Years--1892-1992: Lucien Memorial 
United Methodist Church.'' He is currently writing a history of Kings 
Park.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Miles Borden 
for his outstanding and selfless dedication and commitment to enriching 
the lives of the folks in the Kings Park community. And to extend our 
best wishes and congratulations for being named the 1994 Man of the 
Year.
