  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
celebration of David Marvin Blumberg's 60th birthday.
  David was born on December 26, 1951 in Jacksonville, Florida. He is 
the fourth of five children born to Marvin Bernard and Mary Louise 
Blumberg. David obtained his Masters Degree of Public Administration in 
1994 from the University of North Florida.
  He was honorably discharged from his service in the USAF in 1974 
after having worked as an instrument mechanic on the Minute Man 1, 2, 
and 3 missiles at Vandenberg AFB, CA.
  David worked alongside his father at Marvin Blumberg and Sons from 
1974-1982. He was certified as an FAA Air Traffic Controller and worked 
in that capacity from 1982-2006.
  Presently he is serving as an Air Traffic Safety Risk Management 
Facilitator and Instructor nationwide.
  David is the proud father of Lauren, Will, Olivia, Nathan and 
Natalie. He has one grandchild, Walker Brooks Haas.
  David plays the drums in a band comprised of other Air Traffic 
Controllers who raise money for charities and to date they have raised 
over $650,000 for local and national charities.
  David will be moving to Fort Worth, Texas to supplement the Federal 
Aviation Administration's Safety Risk Management staff.
  His band Aire Traffic will be playing future benefit concerts to 
raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and for the Joseph 
Sam's School for Special Needs Children in Fayetteville, GA.
  Please join me in wishing David Blumberg a very happy 60th birthday.
