                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 3, 2019

  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, I am honored to rise today in recognition 
of the lives and service of two outstanding individuals: my 
constituents, Roy Trachtenberg and Walter ``Skip'' Campbell.
  Skip Campbell was known as a monumental warrior for justice who made 
a significant mark on the world. Skip served his community in the 
Florida Senate from 1996 to 2006, before his election as Mayor of Coral 
Springs in 2014. His leadership was paramount in ensuring the success 
and wellbeing of our community.
  A South Florida native, Roy Trachtenberg served as an administrator 
in the New York School system, where he devoted 35 years to helping 
students succeed. He moved back to Florida where he served as the Dean 
of Education for a community college trade school, where he developed a 
curriculum to upgrade the skills of workers displaced due to the 9/11 
terrorist attack.
  Through their public service, each honoree has touched countless 
lives and made a lasting impact on our South Florida community. In 
recognition of this service, the Coral Spring/Parkland Democratic Club 
have honored their memories by designating their annual service and 
leadership awards as the Roy Trachtenberg Service Award and the Skip 
Campbell Leadership Award.
  Skip and Roy are truly deserving of this honor. I am glad to see 
their legacies of service preserved and used as a paradigm for those 
who follow them.
