  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, Dave Platt, the owner of the Newtown 
Swim Club, in Newtown Township, Bucks County, has provided thousands of 
families with healthful recreational activities since 1983. Dave is 
closing the business and in this next chapter of his life, he plans to 
concentrate on his family and his health. We congratulate Dave as a man 
who has contributed so much to area youth and the community, overall. A 
veteran of the U.S. Navy, he is a past member of the board of directors 
of Frankford Hospital, Northeast Federal Savings, The George School and 
the Bucks County Planning Commission. For many years he was the owner 
of the Somerton Springs Golf Centers where he held

the annual Richie Ashburn Golf Classic, raising over $1 million for the 
Boy Scouts of America. Now, we wish Dave Platt and his family, a happy 
and successful future as we acknowledge his many contributions and, 
especially, the example he has set for others to follow.
