           HONORING ALBERT GAMPER, GEORGE RING, AND ROSE CALI

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. President I rise today to recognize Albert 
R. Gamper, George M. Ring, and Rose Cali as they are honored by the New 
Jersey Network for their outstanding commitment to the young citizens 
of New Jersey, education and community-building.
  Mr. Ring, a lifelong resident of New Jersey, has been an extremely 
active and generous citizen with public institutions, from the NJN 
Foundation to St. Barnabas Health Care Systems to Rutgers University, 
and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Mr. Gamper has devoted 
countless hours and tremendous energy to organizations that touch the 
lives of thousands of New Jersey's families.
  I also wanted to salute Mr. Ring for his commitment to our Nation. He 
put his life on the line for this country when he served in the 
military and has received various distinguished medals for his many 
achievements, valor and dedicated service to America.
  Ms. Cali, founder of the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center, has 
invested much of her time into education and the arts. As a board 
member of a major State educational institution of higher learning and 
as a board member of her community's museum, she has made critical 
contributions in both of these areas and continues to do so. I applaud 
her efforts.
  New Jersey has been blessed with residents such as Mr. Gamper, Mr. 
Ring, and Ms. Cali who have made a great effort to make a difference. 
It is both an honor and an inspiration to recognize the dedication of 
these individuals and the impact they have on the community at large. I 
commend all three for their commitment and generosity to New Jersey and 
her residents.
