  Mr. KANJORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask you and my esteemed 
colleagues in the House of Representatives to pay tribute to Joseph and 
Joan Przywara, of West Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, as they celebrate 50 
years of marriage.
  On September 14, 1957, Mr. and Mrs. Przywara were joined in marriage 
at St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception Church in Wilkes-Barre.

  Mr. Przywara began his working career at first in the anthracite coal 
mines in the Wyoming Valley and then worked for General Motors in New 
Jersey, McGregor Sportswear in Nanticoke, Woodlawn Farm Dairy in 
Wilkes-Barre and Dairylea in Scranton. In 1974, he established the West 
Side Dairy and the couple's two sons, Joseph and Robert, soon joined 
him in business. In 1982, he acquired the Dream Whip ice cream business 
in Nanticoke.
  Mr. Przywara has served his community in several capacities over the 
years, not the least of which was his many contributions of time and 
energy to promote Democratic Party principles and candidates.
  He was also highly instrumental in establishing the Plymouth Township 
Recreation Association on land he helped acquire from the Glen Alden 
Coal Company. He coached little league baseball for many years and also 
served as a PIAA baseball and softball official and as an ASA softball 
umpire.
  Mrs. Przywara worked at Pennsylvania Wholesale Drug Company, Heavenly 
Shoe Company, the United States Social Security Administration and the 
United States Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration 
for many years. She currently manages Dream Whip Ice Cream which 
employs nine people. She is a past member of the Plymouth Township 
Recreation Association Auxiliary.
  Mr. and Mrs. Przywara had three children, Joseph, who is deceased; 
Robert and Lisa Bonar. They also have four grandchildren.
  Mr. and Mrs. Przywara are shining examples of hard working, family 
and community minded Americans who enrich the quality of life not only 
for themselves but for all whose lives they have touched. Mr. Speaker, 
please join me in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Przywara on this special 
occasion.
