                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 10, 1995
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
extraordinary couple, Otto and Julie Bayram, who today celebrate 50 
years of marriage.
  The Bayrams were married during World War II during which Otto Bayram 
served with distinction in the Armed Forces as a pilot, returning to 
his community of New Britain, CT, to operate, along with his father and 
brother, the Arch Street Bakery and Delicatessen and later, the 
renowned EPICURE of Farmington, CT.
  Julie and Otto Bayram have raised four wonderful children--Armen, 
Deborah, Steven, and Paul and are the very proud grandparents of three.
  In every aspect of the life of the community, the Bayrams lead the 
parade. Whether it is a role in the betterment of their community, a 
role in support of their church as individuals of great faith, or 
opportunities to support their cultural heritage, the Bayrams have time 
and again exhibited their civic pride, their faith-based beliefs, and 
their unswerving commitment to who and what they come from.
  Their home has been shared with thousands and their hospitality and 
generosity are known from coast to coast. They are an incomparable 
team, leading a life together 
[[Page E579]] based in the finest values. Julie and Otto Bayram have 
loved their faith, their family, their community, and their country. 
There are but a few individuals that actually help to shape each one of 
us. I have been blessed to have had Julie and Otto influencing and 
loving me throughout my life.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
Bayrams on their 50th wedding anniversary and thank them for all they 
have done together and continue to do.
