                       HONORING JOSEPH FEIGENBAUM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER DEUTSCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 24, 2004

  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Joseph Feigenbaum of 
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is my pleasure to announce that at 84\1/2\ 
years of age, Mr. Feigenbaum has completed the requirements to receive 
a Doctorate in International Business from Nova Southeastern 
University.
  Mr. Speaker, ``old'' is a relative term in Florida. Mr. Feigenbaum 
accomplished quite a lot in his life: he earned a law degree, built a 
successful textile career, and ran a factory in Venezuela. However, Mr. 
Feigenbaum knew retirement would not extinguish his desire to continue 
to cultivate his life. Through the support of his loving wife, Cherie, 
and by the strength of his desire, Feigenbaum returned to the 
classroom. Eight years later, dedication, discipline, and desire 
carried him to his goal. Mr. Feigenbaum serves as an inspiration and 
example for us all.
  Education is a lifelong opportunity, befitting anyone who chooses to 
pursue it. At 84\1/2\ years of age, Mr. Feigenbaum qualifies this 
point. I genuinely believe that his experiences can only benefit his 
community, and I am proud that he is a Floridian. Mr. Speaker, today I 
honor Mr. Feigenbaum's accomplishments and honor the value he places on 
education.
