                      ANNIVERSARY CONGRATULATIONS

                                 ______


                       HON. ROBERT G. TORRICELLI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 23, 1995
  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate a special couple from my district who will celebrate a 
milestone wedding anniversary on June 19, 1995.
  In these turbulent times, it is so wonderful to recognize Kay and 
Frank Purritano, a couple who have honored their vows to each other for 
40 years. Family and friends will gather on June 3 in Albany, NY to 
wish them well.
  Frank worked for over 30 years at Alleghany-Ludlum Steel before he 
retired. Kay has been a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She is 
extremely creative, is a gourmet cook and enjoys sewing and baby-
sitting for her grandchildren.
  The couple raised their five children, Debra, Francis, Jr., Joseph, 
Marie and Michael in New York but, after Frank retired, they moved to 
my district in New Jersey to be closer to their children and 
grandchildren. They are devoted parents and are the proud grandparents 
of seven, Laura, David, Scott, Anthony, Anastasia, Joseph and Nicholas.
  It is an honor to commend this couple for their life together and to 
offer my best wishes for the years to come.
