                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 18, 1999

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, Sylvia ``Sally'' Stahl, a dedicated wife, 
mother, and grandmother is celebrating her 80th birthday and I want to 
take this occasion to join her family and her many friends in wishing 
her a happy birthday.
  She has lived all of her 80 years in the Bronx where her parents 
instilled in her the virtues and ethics she has lived by and which she 
passed on to her children and grandchildren. Her parents, Max and 
Sarah, came to America from Eastern Europe so they and their children 
could enjoy the America's freedom.
  She and her twin sister, Miriam, and her brother, Sydney, were raised 
in the Bronx. She and her husband, Harry, purchased their home in the 
Allerton section of the borough, and she lives in that house still. She 
and Harry were both active in the community and Sally is still an 
active member of Hadassah. During World War II, when Harry served with 
the SeaBees, she worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
  She also did volunteer work at Bronx Lebanon Hospital for more than 
20 years. Sally has recovered from three bouts with cancer.

but not even that could slow this remarkable lady down. She is still 
active and drives throughout the Bronx and Westchester County.
  She is the mother of Robert and Paul, mother-in-law of Josephine and 
Helene, grandmother to Jarret, Lindsay, Dana and Eric. I am proud and 
honored to join Sally, her family and her friends on this wondrous 
occasion.
