                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 10, 2012

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an 
extraordinary milestone of Huntington Beach resident Victoria Cernok, 
as she celebrates her 65th birthday on July 10, 2012.
  A fifth generation Californian, Victoria has continued to be an 
active member in the Huntington Beach community for more than four 
decades. Victoria and her husband, John, raised their four children--
Jon, Brian, Jill, and Greg--in Huntington Beach, while simultaneously 
running a private culinary and catering business and staying engaged in 
her children's education through volunteer parental activities. She 
also had a great career as a flight attendant--traveling the country 
serving others, while watching her family grow.
  Victoria now enjoys spending time with her two grandsons, Grant and 
Blake, going for walks on the beach, honing her painting skills, 
traveling the world, teaching generations of Huntington Beach residents 
how to create culinary masterpieces at the local Community College, and 
being an active member in the acclaimed Saint Simon and Jude Church 
Choir.
  Victoria has contributed her life to being a dedicated and wonderful 
mother and a shining example in her community by giving her time and 
energy to the betterment of others.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Victoria on this 
special day, July 10th, 2012, and in wishing her a Happy 65th Birthday! 
May she have many, many more.
