                HONORING THE LIFE OF BARBARA FLAUMENBAUM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Fitzpatrick) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the life 
and legacy of Mrs. Barbara Flaumenbaum, the late mother-in-law of a 
member of our team, Mr. Peter Chong.
  Born in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia, Barbara worked tirelessly as a 
lab technician for many years and had a spirit that warmed and welcomed 
all lucky enough to cross her path. You didn't have to know her well to 
see and understand how deeply she valued generosity and compassion. Not 
a day went by when Barbara did not exemplify these traits. She 
instilled these qualities and so much more in her family and the many 
lives she touched, including her son-in-law, Peter.
  Barbara and her husband of over 45 years, Steven, raised two 
incredible daughters, Alisha and Lindsay. Family was everything to 
Barbara, and what Barbara loved most about life was being a mother and, 
most recently, a grandmother to her two grandsons, Ethan and Benjamin.
  They say the best measure of a life well-lived has less to do with 
the number of our accomplishments, but more to do the with the number 
of lives we have touched.
  Madam Speaker, it is clear that Barbara's was a life well-lived and 
one that will be greatly missed by all.

          Recognizing Council Rock South High School Students

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
tremendous work and ingenuity of a group of students at Council Rock 
South High School in Pennsylvania's First Congressional District.
  At the height of the pandemic, Daniel Krauss, Noah Necowitz, Dean 
DiDomenico, and Dylan Weselovs, along with the guidance of their 
teacher, Fred Bauer, saw a need in our community and heeded the call to 
help. This innovative, impressive group of young men worked tirelessly 
to design, manufacture, and deliver 3,000 lifesaving PPE face shields 
that were certified by the Bucks County Emergency Operations Center to 
medical facilities, nursing homes, and our frontline heroes in Bucks 
County.
  I want to applaud this very special group of students for taking what 
they learned in the classroom and using that to serve our community. I 
know the future of both our community and country is bright with young 
men like Daniel, Noah, Dean, and Dylan at the helm. I stand here today 
on the floor to express our community's utmost pride and gratitude for 
them. We are excited to see all that they will accomplish and know 
that, wherever their paths may lead, their futures will be very bright.
