                      Tuesday, September 21, 1999

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Terry and Carole 
York, who are being honored this year by the Boys & Girls Club of San 
Fernando Valley as the recipients of their Golden Hands Award. Terry 
and Carole have, for decades, given unstintingly of their time, talents 
and resources to worthy organizations throughout the San Fernando 
Valley. Their dedication and sense of compassion, especially where 
children are concerned, know no bounds and their altruism and community 
spirit serves as a shining example.
  The Yorks have been among the strongest boosters of the Boys & Girls 
Club of San Fernando Valley for over 25 years. During that time their 
support has enabled the club to assist hundreds of youth from 
underprivileged backgrounds get a fresh start with their lives.
  Terry and Carole have also been strong supporters of the City of 
Hope, American Cancer Society, March of Dimes, and a myriad of other 
civic, charitable, and humanitarian causes. On her own, Carole has 
worked as a volunteer with Penny Lane, a home for girls in need, and 
has been involved with Olive View Medical Center.
  While contributing tirelessly to their community, the Yorks have 
raised a close and devoted family of four. Carole paints, gardens and 
loves to spoil her two grandchildren. Terry is a successful and 
distinguished businessman. Within 5 years, he moved from file clerk to 
general manager and part owner of an auto dealership. Today there are 
10 franchises in the Terry York Automotive Group. His best sale, he 
loves to say, was to his future wife, over 30 years ago.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Terry and Carole York, who 
have made a positive difference in the lives of so many. I wish the 
best to both of them, their children, Todd, Natalie, Tom, and Tiffany, 
and their two grandchildren, Logan and Weston.
