                        Thursday, July 27, 2006

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sandy 
Augliere on her 90th birthday and recognize her many accomplishments as 
well as her years of dedication to the Lake Barcroft community.
  Sandy Augliere was born Mary Margaret Reed in Marion, N.C., but most 
everyone who has met her knows her simply as Sandy. Through her 
engaging personal demeanor and business acumen, Sandy has become an 
institution in the Lake Barcroft real estate community. In addition, 
Sandy has been a dedicated and loving wife to her husband Vince, and 
mother to her four children, Carol, Noel, Reed and Tom.
  The senior associate broker at Long and Foster, Sandy has been in the 
real estate business for some 50 years. She has been in the top 1 
percent of Realtors nationally and is a lifetime Million Dollar Club 
member. In the course of her impressive career, she has sold or re-sold 
approximately 700 to 800 of the 1,044 houses in the Lake Barcroft. Even 
today, Sandy works seven days a week, and has no plans to quit.
  In establishing her impressive real estate accomplishments, she led 
opponents of discrimination against African Americans in the home 
buying market. Sandy sold homes to a diverse group of individuals and 
families, including Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and 
Attorney General of the United States Ramsey Clark.
  Throughout her ongoing success, she has never advertised on 
television. Instead, she depends on friends and word of mouth. If 
asked, Sandy is quick to point out that her personal touch has always 
been a hallmark of her success. This same personal touch has been felt 
in Lake Barcroft through her community service as Lake Barcroft 
Association president and Woman's Club president.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks 
to Sandy Augliere for her contributions to the Lake Barcroft community. 
She is an exemplary model of success and citizenship. I call upon my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing her on the occasion of her 90th 
birthday.
