                         HON. PAUL E. KANJORSKI

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 5, 1998

  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mrs. 
Barbara L. Greenberg of Northeastern Pennsylvania. This month, Barbara 
Greenberg will be installed as the National President of the Jewish War 
Veterans Auxiliary.
  Barbara was born in New York City and lived there until the end of 
World War II when she moved with her family to Northeastern 
Pennsylvania, where she has resided ever since.
  Barbara graduated from Rider College with a degree in Medical 
Technology. After several years as a homemaker, Barbara began a career 
in the insurance industry in 1972, which she still pursues to this 
date.
  From a very early age, Barbara learned love of country and a hatred 
of bigotry from her beloved and patriotic father. As a child, she 
helped her father in his anti-air raid duties during World War II. 
Barbara volunteers at the Veterans Medical Center and participates in 
all Veterans and Memorial Day parades.
  Barbara is also active in her Temple, holding many leadership 
positions over the years. She has been president of the Women's Service 
Club at the Jewish Community Center and was recently named to the 
Executive Committee and the board of the Jewish Home of Northeastern 
Pennsylvania.
  Barbara first became a member of the Jewish War Veterans Auxiliary 
after her marriage to her husband, Sam, who would later serve as 
National Commander of the Jewish War Veterans. Her love for the 
organization grew and assumed leadership roles in the national 
organization with great distinction, serving on the A-Board, Chair of 
the Membership Committee, National A-Wish, and Aid to Israel just to 
name a few. During this activity, she somehow managed to raise three 
children who have produced eight grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have had the opportunity to bring 
Barbara Greenberg's accomplishments to the attention of my colleagues. 
I join with the Jewish War Veterans Auxiliary in thanking Barbara for 
her past and future efforts.
