By Mr. KERRY (for himself and Mr. Brown of Massachusetts):
S. 3465. A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal
Service located at 15 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts, as
the ``Michael C. Rothberg Post Office''; to the Committee on Homeland
Security and Government Affairs.
Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I am proud to introduce legislation to
designate the United States Postal Service in Sharon, Massachusetts, as
the Michael C. Rothberg Post Office.
Michael Craig Rothberg was born and raised in Sharon. Upon graduation
from Sharon High School, Michael earned both undergraduate and master's
degree in math and computer science from McGill University in Montreal.
Unfortunately, Michael Rothberg's life was tragically cut short on the
morning of September 11, 2001, at age 39, while working in his Cantor
Fitzgerald office on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center.
During his lifetime, Michael Rothberg created much more than a
successful professional life. He used his resources generously
contributing not only financial support, but also his time and energy
for causes he believed in. He worked hard for causes such as the Dana
Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund, the Multiple Sclerosis
Foundation, and Mutual Funds against Cancer. His spirit is remembered
through many contributions to the Town of Sharon through the Michael C.
Rothberg Memorial Scholarship and other notable charitable
contributions to students, athletes and the community of Sharon,
Massachusetts.
The people of Sharon, Massachusetts are very proud of Michael and the
example he set. It is fitting then that when people go to or pass by
the post office in Sharon, they will be reminded of a local man who
understood how important it is to give back to causes that touch your
heart.
