                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 4, 1999

  Ms. SANCHEZ. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate Herman R. 
Fink on his 103rd birthday.
  A resident of Santa Ana, Mr. Fink has lived, on his own, at the same 
address for 60 years. His only daughter, Lorraine, his family and 
friends, will gather on his birthday, October 2, 1999, for their annual 
celebration at his favorite restaurant. Once again, those who love and 
admire him, will share in the glow of this wonderful event.
  During his lifetime, Mr. Fink has traveled around the world, from 
Egypt to Australia, from France to South America. He is truly a world-
citizen who has captured the romance and excitement of all the 
countries he visited and his memories are the postcards that have 
enhanced his life and the lives of those who know him well.
  Herman Fink was married for 67 years to his wife, Clara. His marriage 
was a perfect match made in heaven, according to his only daughter, 
Lorraine Ellison of Garden Grove, California. His life is filled with 
the pride and joy of his two granddaughters and two great 
grandchildren.
  Colleagues, please join with me today as we salute a wonderful man, 
an octogenarian, who has lived life well and to the very fullest.
