                       TRIBUTE TO TOM CASTRONOVA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL FERGUSON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 2002

  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to revise and 
extend my remarks.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Tom Castronova, who has been 
operating his pharmacy, serving the community of Warren, New Jersey, 
since 1962.
  Tonight, with the community leaders from Warren attending, Tom 
Castronova will be honored for 40 years of service to the community of 
Warren.
  So I stand before you today to honor a man who embodies the American 
spirit. He is a small businessman, a family businessman, a man who 
followed his father into the pharmacy business.
  He has lived and worked through many changes--changes in the 
healthcare industry--and changes in the growth of New Jersey. But his 
care and work ethic over the years has remained the same and I believe 
Tom has made the difference in his pharmacy's longevity.
  I commend Tom Castronova and wish him all the best with the continued 
success of Edgewood Pharmacy.
