  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the lifetime 
achievements of Stanley Marks, an outstanding member of his community 
in Manalapan, New Jersey, and a devoted family man. He continues to 
epitomize the concept of responsible citizenship by giving back to 
society in many ways, making him worthy of this body's recognition. Mr. 
Marks' commendable achievements make him a deserving recipient of the 
2010 Homeowners of Covered Bridge Person of the Year Award.
  Stanley Marks was born in 1939 in Brooklyn, New York, where he spent 
his entire youth and much of his adult life. After graduating from the 
Boys High School, he joined the RCA Institute and studied electronics. 
In his professional life, Mr. Marks has worked for the Avion Corp. as 
well as a prominent Long Island City electronics distributor. In 1998, 
he moved to New Jersey and joined the Covered Bridge community in 
Manalapan. Mr. Marks has lived there ever since. A committed family 
man, he has been married for over 50 years to his wife, Jackie. They 
have two children and four grandchildren.
  Mr. Marks has dedicated much of his life to serving each community of 
which he has been a part, both in New York and New Jersey. He has been 
committed to a variety of important causes through his support of 
various community organizations. Mr. Marks was a member of the Mill 
Basin, New York Civic Association and the chancellor commander of 
Harmony Lodge #709 of the Knights of Pythias Domain of New York. 
Currently, he is the vice chancellor of the Covered Bridge Lodge #536 
of the Domain of New Jersey. Mr. Marks has also served as the president 
of the Covered Bridge Homeowners Association. He is presently a member 
of the association's board of directors. In his work with the Covered 
Bridge Homeowners Association, Mr. Marks has actively worked to improve 
the quality of life of his fellow residents. He has also been involved 
with Meals on Wheels and has helped organize transportation for the 
handicapped.
  Madam Speaker, I would once more like to thank Mr. Stanley Marks for 
his contributions to the community and congratulate him again on his 
2010 Person of the Year Award from the Homeowners of Covered Bridge. 
Mr. Marks' professional accomplishments, work for the betterment of 
society, and dedication to family should be an inspiration to us all.
