 COMMENDING MR. PINKY KRAVITZ ON 50 YEARS OF RADIO BROADCASTS AND HIS 
                  OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO HIS COMMUNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. FRANK A. LoBIONDO

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 23, 2007

  Mr. LoBIONDO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend Mr. Pinky 
Kravitz on his long and distinguished service to his community, and 
congratulate him on 50 years as an on-air radio talk show host in 
Atlantic City.
  Starting his career on WLDB 1490AM and airing weekdays during the 
mid-afternoon, his first show was called ``Pinky's Pool Party.'' Three 
years later, Pinky would move to his current home on WOND 1400AM, where 
for the last 47 years he has hosted his talk show at various times and 
locations across Atlantic County. For the past 28 years, he has 
broadcast live from Atlantic City's famed casinos including the Hilton, 
which is the current home of ``Pinky's Corner.''
  A respected radio personality and dedicated community servant, Pinky 
has interviewed all of New Jersey's governors since 1974, all of the 
state's sitting U.S. Senators for the past 35 years, and myself on 
countless occasions--always with class and character. Without question, 
Pinky is an institution in southern New Jersey. On behalf of the House 
of Representatives and the residents of New Jersey, I would like to 
personally congratulate Mr. Pinky Kravitz who has entertained and 
informed his faithful listeners for five decades.
