  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Laura Scher of 
Delray Beach, who turns 90 years old on August 2, 2014.
  Laura Frankel Scher was born on August 2, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York, 
to Jewish immigrant parents. Along with her three siblings, she was 
raised to understand the value of hard work and education. After her 
high school graduation Laura began working as a legal secretary and 
married Seymour Roy Scher in 1944. Laura and Roy soon welcomed three 
daughters to their family--Carol, Judy, and Sandy--and raised them in 
East Meadow, Long Island. After a successful career working as the 
Executive Assistant to the president of Hofstra University, she retired 
and moved with Roy to Florida in 1986. Today, Laura lives in Abbey 
Delray South, a community where she has had the opportunity to be 
involved in some of her favorite hobbies, including gardening and 
painting, and enjoy the fruits of a full and wonderful life.
  Laura is truly an exceptional woman whom I am proud to represent in 
Florida's 21st District. I join her friends and family in celebrating 
this wonderful milestone, and I wish her good health and continued 
success in the coming year.
