                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 5, 1998

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, April 30, the Neptune Township 
Education Foundation, Inc., and the Neptune Township Board of 
Education, hosted the Neptune High School Hall of Fame Dinner at Mike 
Doolan's Restaurant in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey.
  It is a great honor for me to join with the Neptune Township 
Education Township Foundation and the Board of Education in paying 
tribute to the distinguished inductees: Patricia Battle, Robert Davis, 
Jr., Ermon Jones, William King, 2nd, Harry Larrison, Jr., Lawrence 
Lawson, Joseph Palaia, Haydn Proctor and James Ward. All nine of these 
exceptional individuals have contributed significantly to our 
community, in Neptune, in Monmouth County and throughout the State of 
New Jersey, through their distinct talents and abilities. The nine 
awardees represent a broad cross-section of the community, a testimony 
to the diversity that is one of our greatest strengths. But all nine 
have at least two things in common: a strong record of accomplishment 
and a sincere desire to give something back to the community. They have 
all richly earned the honor of being inducted into the Neptune High 
School Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to pay tribute to these fine leaders of the 
Jersey Shore area in the pages of the Congressional Record.
