                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 1, 2014

  Mr. COURTNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to shine a spotlight on 
an American star for vastly different reasons to which she is 
accustomed. Deana Martin, an accomplished singer, actor, author and 
performer in her own right, as well as the daughter of the legendary 
Dean Martin, will be performing for the people of Enfield at the 
request of the Lady of Mt. Carmel Society and the local Chief of 
Police, Mr. Carl Sferrazza.
  On August 2nd, Ms. Martin, as a special guest of the community, will 
be visiting seniors at the Enfield Senior Center to talk about her 
experiences watching and performing with her father. She will also stop 
by the Felician Sisters, Our Lady of the Angels Convent to bring her 
performance to those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to 
see it.
  In addition to performing her music, Ms. Martin will also be speaking 
on her best-selling book, ``Memories Are Made Of This'' in which she 
tells her father's story through her own eyes. The book's name is a 
reference to her father's work that captures the essence of their 
relationship.
  Thanks to Ms. Martin's participation, this annual tradition of a 
proud Connecticut town will be a unique experience filled with music 
and storytelling from a legendary American family. I thank Ms. Martin 
for her wonderful musical work, and her service to this local 
community.
