                       TRIBUTE TO ANGELO PETRINO

                                 ______


                       HON. JOSEPH P. KENNEDY II

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 10, 1996

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of 
serving this legislative body is the opportunity we occasionally get to 
publicly acknowledge the outstanding individuals of our communities. I 
rise today to recognize one such individual, Angelo Petrino of 
Massachusetts, who was named ``Man of the Year'' of the Belmont Men's 
Lodge #1094.
  Mr. Petrino is a leading member of the Italian community in the 
Greater Boston area and has played an important role in preserving and 
promoting appreciation of Italian culture. His civic and community 
service is a testament to his rich Italian heritage and community 
spirit. He is an example of how one individual can truly make a 
difference in the lives of others. Mr. Petrino has always displayed 
exceptional dedication to helping those in need, and he will continue 
to be an inspiration to all.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed an honor and a pleasure for me to have this 
opportunity to recognize this outstanding humanitarian. I am sure I 
speak on behalf of many members of the community who have either worked 
with Mr. Petrino, or have experienced the benefits of his hard work, 
when I offer him my heartfelt congratulations.
