             HONORING ELAINE NEWBERG ON HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Elaine 
Newberg, who will celebrate her 100th birthday on August 24.
  Born in 1923, she grew up in Philadelphia and attended the University 
of Pennsylvania.
  A gifted pianist, Elaine once performed with the Philadelphia 
Symphony Orchestra. She went on to become a music teacher, producing a 
number of popular musicals worthy of the best theaters.
  Passionate about helping students find their way, Elaine became a 
guidance counselor, serving as president of both the Long Island and 
New York State School Counselor Association.
  Elaine and her husband, Marvin, a World War II veteran, raised two 
children, Richard and Shanti. Richard is an Emmy-winning journalist in 
Buffalo and Shanti is a social worker.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Elaine 
Newberg's dedicated life of service, passion, and creativity as we wish 
her a very happy 100th birthday.
