                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 25, 1995

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Stefan R. Zucker, 
who was honored for his service in aiding individuals to recover from 
their substance abuse problems on October 6, at the 1995 St. Benedict 
the Moor Neighborhood Center's dinner dance, in the South Bronx.
  Mr. Zucker is one of eight individuals who were recognized for their 
remarkable success in helping rehabilitate individuals who had been 
struggling with substance abuse. The rehabilitation program is being 
carried out at St. Benedict the Moor Neighborhood Center.
  Born in Germany in a U.N. refugee relief camp, young Stefan Zucker 
came to the United States in 1949 at the age of 3. He graduated from 
Muhlenberg College and obtained a master's degree in anthropology from 
Hunter College.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Zucker's achievements in the community are in 
addition to his important work as a teacher. He has dedicated 20 years 
to teaching students at the elementary school level and served as a 
coordinator of the community school program at Public School 30. In 
1992, he received the Samuels Award for Excellence in Teaching from the 
Fund For New York City Public Education.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Zucker, 
an individual who has made the United States his home and who through 
his tireless efforts has contributed greatly to our community.
