       DR. NAN S. HUTCHISON BROWARD SENIOR HALL OF FAME ELECTEES

 Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, today I would like to recognize and 
congratulate a group of 12 inspiring citizens from Broward County, FL. 
These individuals have each given their time, talents, and love to 
their communities.
  On March 8, 1996, the following men and women were selected as the 
new members of the Dr. Nan S. Hutchison Broward Senior Hall of Fame. 
Their names have been added to a commemorative plaque housed in the 
Broward County government building.
  Shirley Berman, of Pembroke Pines, has been a selfless volunteer for 
the Memorial Manor Nursing Home by introducing pet therapy to the 
facility. Ms. Berman also uses her crafting talent to provide materials 
for various fundraising events. The woolen hats she makes are 
distributed to premature infants at local hospitals.
  Majorie A. Davis, of Fort Lauderdale, has made a positive impact on 
her community as a teacher for 44 years in the Broward County School 
System. In addition to enriching the lives of her students, she has 
dedicated her time to many local organizations. Among Marjorie's most 
recent accolades is the Urban League of Broward County, Inc. Kathleen 
Wright Award which she earned in 1994.
  Frank Ford, of Lauderdale Lakes, has shown his willingness to serve 
his community by forming the Motorola Retirees Alumni after serving 
with Motorola for 20 years. He has also shown

his concern for children by establishing the Kids ID Program, which has 
photographed over 1,200 children to date.
  Rubye Haile Howell of Fort Lauderdale, the second school teacher 
among the electees, has continued her commitment to children long after 
her retirement. Rubye is the lay leader for the Harris Chapel United 
Methodist Church and is deeply involved in various organizations in an 
effort to create unity among people of all ages.
  Ms. Audrey Millsaps, also of Fort Lauderdale, has served for 13 years 
on the Areawide Council on Aging, including 2 years as president. She 
selflessly advances children's issues through the Florida Ocean Science 
Institute, SOS Children's Village, the Children Services Board, and the 
Children's Consortium, among others. Her many hours of service are 
appreciated by all.
  Dan Pearl has served the people of Sunrise in various capacities and 
is currently deputy mayor. Over a decade ago, Mr. Pearl implemented a 
free flu shot program, a service which was not covered by Medicare at 
the time. He has shown his dedication to seniors and the American 
Cancer Society, and can occasionally be found bagging groceries at Winn 
Dixie in order to raise money for the organization.
  Joe Rosen's dedication to the city of Sunrise and Broward County is 
far reaching. Not only has he held numerous positions in volunteer 
organizations, he has been integral in raising over $45,000 for a host 
of senior organizations throughout Broward. His concern for the safety 
of his city's streets is exemplified by his role as commander of 
Citizens on Patrol-Night Crime Patrol.

  Jean Ross, of Margate, a dynamic member of Broward County's senior 
community, currently serves as president of the Broward County Council 
of Senior Citizens. This organization serves seniors by providing them 
with much needed information and assistance. Jean has also assured that 
the council's blood drives are successful by working closely with 
Broward County's High Schools on an incentive program.
  An exemplary senior advocate and resident of Tamarac, Marc Sultanof 
serves numerous organizations, particularly in the Kings Point 
neighborhood. He recently was elected to the Area Agency's Advisory 
Council, where he serves with distinction, and was appointed as a 1995 
delegate to the White House Conference on Aging by Gov. Lawton Chiles.
  Katherine Thibault is currently serving a second term as a Pembroke 
Pines city commissioner. As a result of her efforts in the 1994 Area 
Agency Seniors for Seniors Dollar Drive, Commissioner Thibault helped 
raised thousands of dollars for senior programs in Broward County. Ms. 
Thibault is no stranger to volunteer work. Her contributions to the 
seniors of Broward County have been appreciated by all.
  Amadeo Trinchitella's efforts have also been substantial. Beside 
serving the seniors of Broward County, Mr. Trinchitella is a Deerfield 
Beach commissioner, and has been appointed by Governor Chiles to a 4-
year term as commissioner for the North Broward Hospital District. His 
activities with Century Village have helped to enhance that vibrant 
senior community.
  Ms. Eula Williams, of Fort Lauderdale, is involved in Mt. Olive 
Baptist Church and the Northwest Federated Women's Club. Her activities 
include tending the sick, visiting nursing homes, and helping the 
homebound. Her involvement in the Area Agency's Session for Seniors, 
classes which help Broward's seniors deal with independent living, has 
enriched the lives of Broward's older residents.
  Once again, I would like to congratulate these outstanding seniors 
who have diligently and selflessly given of themselves in order to make 
Broward County a fine place for all of its residents. The State of 
Florida and Broward County are fortunate to have residents like these 
making a difference and setting an example for all.
