                    A TRIBUTE TO WINSTON P. THOMPSON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2005

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a 
distinguished and accomplished Brooklynite, Winston P. Thompson. It is 
an honor to represent Mr. Thompson in the House of Representatives and 
it behooves us to pay tribute to such an exemplary citizen.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Thompson worked diligently and attained his 
undergraduate and graduate degrees from St. Francis College and Pace 
University. His work experience is impressive--from being employed as 
an auditing officer for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, a Wall Street 
Investment Banking firm, for two years, and a big five international 
accounting and consulting firm, where he remained for five years.
  Over the past 20 years, he has demonstrated deep devotion and civic 
commitment as a CPA and Financial Planner by offering tax and financial 
services to the Brooklyn community. In addition, he is the founder, 
President, and Chief Executive Officer of Thompson & Company, a 
Certified Public Accounting and Consulting firm based in Downtown 
Brooklyn, which recently enjoyed its twentieth year in operation.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe that it is incumbent on this body to recognize 
the achievements and service of Mr. Thompson. He continues to offer his 
talents and services for the betterment of the community through his 
involvement in several community activities and organizations, 
particularly as a Member of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce, 
the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and the Bedford Stuyvesant Real Estate 
Board.
  Mr. Speaker, may our country continue to benefit from the civic 
actions of committed and talented individuals such as Winston P. 
Thompson.
