  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give honor to James 
Mastandrea, who has received the George B. Davis award for service to 
Cleveland State University. He has been a tireless supporter of this 
institution and has dedicated himself to its growth and advancement.
  Mastandrea, a current resident of Cleveland, received his bachelor's 
degree from the College of Business Administration in 1970. Mr. 
Mastandrea is recognized for his long and distinguished career in real 
estate, including his management of several firms in Illinois and Ohio. 
He has been the top executive of Midwest Development Corporation, First 
Union Real Estate, Triam Corporation, and Continental Homes of Chicago, 
Inc. He was also the vice president of Continental Bank as well as 
financial analyst of Mellon Bank. Since 1998, he has been the chairman 
and chief executive officer of Eagle's Wings Aviation Corporation, a 
private investment group.
  Mr. Mastandrea's continuous and generous support of Cleveland State 
University began during his undergraduate years at the University. It 
was during these first years at Cleveland State where he organized the 
Student Economics Club and served as its president. Currently, Mr. 
Mastandrea is a director on the Cleveland State University Foundation 
and the chairman of its Nominating Committee. In addition to these many 
contributions, he also chairs the College of Business Visiting 
Committee, has served on the search committee for a business dean, and 
devoted many hours to the College's strategic planning process.
  Let us join Cleveland State University as they honor Mr. James 
Mastandrea for his many contributions to the University.
