  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Henry Glover, 
a distinguished member of the Brooklyn, New York community. It behooves 
us to pay tribute to this outstanding leader and I hope my colleagues 
will join me in recognizing his impressive accomplishments.
  Mr. Glover was born and raised in South Carolina and moved to 
Brooklyn, New York after graduating from high school.
  He's married to his high school sweetheart Mabel and is the proud 
father of four children and one adopted son. Mr. Glover graduated as an 
auto mechanic from Berk Trade School. He also attended LaGuardia 
Community College and earned his certification in Management. After 
many years of loyal and dedicated service, Mr. Glover retired from 
Eagle Electric Company.
  Noting a need for change, Mr. Glover started volunteering in the 
community in the late seventies with the East New York Democratic Club. 
He later was appointed President of the

Tenant Association of Marcus Garvey Houses, where he started the 
development's first free lunch program and youth jobs program.
  Mr. Glover later moved to Bedford Stuyvesant and became very active 
with the Unity Democratic Club, where he serves as Chairperson of the 
Membership Committee and Office Manager. In his spare time, he loves to 
watch sports and two of his most beloved teams are the NY Yankees and 
the NY Football Giants.
  Everyone who knows Mr. Glover knows that if you can't catch him 
during the week, you will be sure to find him on Sunday at Mt. Carmel 
Baptist Church where he serves as a faithful Deacon. He is also a 
member of the Association of Deacons.
  Mr. Glover's motto is ``If I Can't Help Somebody Along the Way, Then 
My Living Would Have Been in Vain,'' and his life is a living 
testament.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is incumbent on this body to recognize 
the accomplishments of Henry Glover, a man who offers his talents and 
services for the betterment of our community.
  Mr. Speaker, Henry Glover's selfless service has continuously 
demonstrated a level of altruistic dedication that makes him most 
worthy of our recognition today.
