                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr Speaker, it is my great pleasure to congratulate 
David Scott Simpson on his ``Book of Golden Deeds Award'' presented by 
the Ocean City Exchange Club. This award goes to individuals who have 
selflessly and continuously served their community in South Jersey as 
Scott Simpson has done for many years. Scott is a native of Ocean City 
where he attended Ocean City High School and was a notably great 
baseball player and a member of the choir. After graduation, he 
attended the University of Delaware where he majored in business before 
returning to Ocean City to join his father at the family business, Play 
land Pier. A few years later he took over as the Chief of the company, 
all while continuing to serve his community by putting forth countless 
hours volunteering and donating to the local community organizations. 
Scott has volunteered for organizations such as the Ocean City Exchange 
club, of which he was a member for many years, the Ocean City Tourism 
Board, New Jersey Amusement Association, Ocean City Boardwalk Merchants 
Association, and served as a member of the Ocean City Chamber of 
Commerce. He has been married to the love of his life, Linda, for 32 
years and they have two beautiful children together, Allison and David, 
who both graduated from Ocean City High School. I have no doubt that 
Scott will continue to showcase his outstanding leadership to his 
community by showing the great value of giving back to the community. 
Congratulations to Scott on receiving the highest honor, The Book of 
Golden Deeds. God Bless Scott and God Bless the United States of 
America.
