      HONORING BARRY R. FEIRSTEIN AND HOLLY PEYTON GOOD FEIRSTEIN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MARCUS J. MOLINARO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 9, 2023

  Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Barry R. Feirstein 
and the memory of Holly Peyton Good Feirstein, who both worked to 
create the `Pay it Forward' campaign which has positively impacted the 
lives of those in the autism community by raising over $97,000 for the 
Anderson Center for Autism. Barry is also the 2023 recipient of the 
V.V. Anderson Community Service Award that recognizes his outstanding 
contributions to helping those living with autism.
  Barry is a graduate of Brooklyn College and Harvard Business School. 
He was a two-term Chairman of Brooklyn College where he worked 
tirelessly to create the Barry R. Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, 
one of the few remaining film schools in a working studio.
  Barry spent his career as founder of Feirstein Capital Management 
where he concentrated his efforts to help others make solid financial 
investments. He is currently on the Weill Cornell Deans Council and the 
Board of Autism Speaks. His contributions to local communities in New 
York, through both the `Pay it Forward' campaign and the Barry R. 
Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, will not be soon forgotten.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
recognizing Barry R. Feirstein being honored with the 2023 V.V. 
Anderson Community Service Award. This award is a fitting honor for the 
profound difference he and Holly Peyton Good Feirstein have made in the 
lives of those with autism through their `Pay it Forward' campaign.
