                   TRIBUTE TO MORRIS AND SYLVIA RUBIN

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ROBERT G. TORRICELLI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 31, 1996

  Mr. TORRICELLI: Mr. Speaker, I rise today in order to congratulate 
Morris and Sylvia Rubin of Fort Lee, NJ, on their 50th wedding 
anniversary. This remarkable couple was married on July 14, 1946 at Lou 
G. Siegel's restaurant in Manhattan. They lived in the Bronx between 
1946 and 1975 until they moved to Fort Lee, where they have lived ever 
since.
  Sylvia worked as a typist at the New York Public Service Commission 
for 18 years before she retired in 1993. Prior to her work for the 
commission, she raised Barbara and Barry, two wonderful and loving 
children.
  Sylvia's husband Morris was employed as a garment worker in the 
garment industry for 40 years and as a part-time postal worker as well.
  The Rubins have enjoyed the fruits of togetherness for five decades. 
Their love and devotion to each other and their friends and loved ones 
has always been apparent. They have been wonderful parents and 
grandparents to their only grandchild, Michael.
  In life, it is the special moments that should be cherished, and a 
50th wedding anniversary is one of those times. I wish both of them 
another 50 years of wonderful matrimony.
