                 IN HONOR OF MS. DOROTHY ANDERSON CLARK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 10, 2003

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the late 
Dorothy Anderson Clark, a dear friend to New Jersey's sixth 
congressional district. Ms. Clark, who was a resident of Asbury Park, 
was well known throughout the community and will be sorely missed by 
her friends, family, and neighbors.
  Dorothy Clark was a truly remarkable individual, who was admired for 
her many years of community service. During World War II, she was a 
pioneer of the American Women Volunteers of Long Branch where she 
provided locally relevant humanitarian services that helped people 
within the community be safer and healthier. Later, Ms. Clark was 
honored with a well-deserved Certification of Meritorious Service from 
the Red Cross for her volunteer work during the war. Despite the 
arduous nature of her work, Ms. Clark continued to volunteer her 
services after the war ended.
  In addition to her dedication surrounding the war effort, Dorothy 
Clark also volunteered her services to various community organizations. 
She was an active member of the Order Eastern Star, Naomi Chapter 8 of 
the United Masonic Brotherhood Incorporated of Neptune. Recently, Ms. 
Clark was given an award for her work with the Seacoast Association, as 
well as an award lauding her fifty years of devoted service to the 
Second Baptist Church of Monmouth.
  Mr. Speaker, Dorothy Anderson Clark was clearly an exceptional woman 
who touched the lives of young and old throughout her community. Both 
to her friends and family, as well as the sixth congressional district, 
Ms. Clark was an exceptional person whose volunteer work was an 
extension of her patriotic spirit and kindhearted character. On this 
day, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring this truly 
extraordinary individual.
