                A TRIBUTE TO ABE AND DONNA LEE GOLDSTEIN

                                 ______

                       Monday, February 25, 2008

  Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise before you today to honor 
Abe and Donna Lee Goldstein for their contributions to the Cub Scout 
program. Growing up in Wilmington, DE, Abe belonged to the Civil Air 
Patrol. He attended the University of Delaware and earned a bachelor's 
degree in geology and a master's degree in geophysics. After marrying 
Donna Lee, the two moved to Maryland to raise their new family.
  When their oldest son Greg joined the Cub Scouts as a Tiger, the 
Goldsteins became active members in Maryland's Pack 880. Donna Lee 
served as the Pack's Den Leader and Song Mistress, while Abe took on 
the responsibility of being the Committee Chair. Even after their 
oldest son, Greg, had bridged out from the Cub Scouts and 3 years 
before their youngest son, Max, could become a Tiger in the Pack, Abe 
and Donna Lee continued their involvement, opening their personal 
workshop for the scouts' Pinewood Derby clinics and assisting with the 
building of the new race track. For his years of consistent dedication 
to the program, Abe was recently named Cub Master of Pack 880.
  The Cub Scout program gives adults the opportunity to have a positive 
influence on children's lives. People like the Goldsteins have helped 
sustain the Cub Scout program throughout its history, encouraging more 
families to become involved. By donating their time, resources, and 
talent to this worthwhile program, the Goldsteins have enriched the 
lives of countless children in the Cockeysville community.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join with me today to honor Abe and 
Donna Lee Goldstein. Their commitment and dedication to the scouting 
program through the years is truly commendable. The impact of the 
Goldsteins' contributions will affect the youth of their community for 
years to come. It is with great pride that I congratulate Abe and Donna 
Lee Goldstein on their exemplary involvement in the Cub Scout program.
