  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to recognize 
Romeo James Robinson for turning 90 years young. Mr. Robinson was born 
on September 9, 1912 in Youngstown, Ohio, and throughout his life, he 
achieved many great accomplishments. In 1941, he earned the bachelor's 
of science degree in Chemistry from Youngstown State University, and 
after 30 years of dedicated service, Mr. Robinson retired from 
Youngstown Sheet and Tool in 1968.
  He has always been a beacon in his community, serving on the 
Organization for Protestant Men, Fraternal Order of Masons, Alpha Phi 
Alpha Fraternity and the Deacons Board of the Third Baptist Church. 
Additionally, he is a lifetime member of both the National Advancement 
for Colored People and the Urban League.
  Mr. Robinson has two children, Myron F. Robinson, who currently 
serves as the president of the Urban League of Greater Cleveland, and 
Anita Gorham, who now resides in Detroit, Michigan. He is the proud 
grandparent of two and boasts often of his four great-grandchildren.
  Happy birthday, Mr. Robinson!
