  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my constituent, 
Ms. Beverly Fields, who celebrated her 100th birthday on October 21.
  The daughter of a Romanian father and Russian mother, Beverly has 
truly lived the American Dream. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, 
New York with her three siblings. Beverly attended P.S. 156 and was 
elected class president because, in her words, ``she went to school 
every day.''
  After graduating, she went straight to work for a manufacturing 
company, and over the course of 20 years, she rose to the position of 
Manager. Despite the hard work she put in, she always made sure to find 
time for traveling and dancing. She was a regular patron of the 
Roseland Ballroom, and has visited Israel, Spain, St. Thomas, and St. 
Martin.
  Since retiring, Beverly's civic commitment has come full circle, as 
she is currently the President of the Resident Council at Park Summit 
senior living community. Like many of us, Beverly loves music, 
especially Jazz and concert symphonies. Her favorite artist is Frank 
Sinatra and her favorite song is Autumn Leaves.
  Beverly's most admirable trait, however, is her ability to always 
find ways to keep herself active and engaged. From playing cards and 
bingo, to reading adventure books and writing poems, to watching the 
travelogue and hanging out with her friends, Beverly's endless joy and 
companionship are attributes we should all strive to emulate.
  Mr. Speaker, today I call on my colleagues to join me in celebrating 
Ms. Beverly Fields and her contribution to our community. Happy 
birthday, Beverly.
