                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2006

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Beulah Spatz for her 
70 years of service to her employer, Campbell's Fitting Company of 
Boyertown, Pennsylvania. Beulah began with the company, then called 
Campbell Nipple works, in 1936 with a high school degree and a passion 
for math and accounting.
  Beulah began her career as a receptionist and clerk for the owner, 
Mr. Louis Campbell. In 1939, Beulah's career dream came true when Mr. 
Campbell elevated her to the position of controller.
  In 1949, Mr. Campbell sold the company to Mr. Frederick Paff, who 
changed the company's name to Campbell Manufacturing Company and, with 
this son Thomas D. Paff, expanded and improved business operations and 
opportunities. Today, under the leadership of Thomas J. Paff, Campbell 
is a leader in the industry both nationally and internationally.
  Beulah has steadfastly stayed with the company through name and 
ownership changes. In the years she worked at Campbell, she's gone from 
using a typewriter to main frames to the modern personal computer. 
Beulah has been the company's foundation and her colleagues remark that 
she always knew where every penny was coming from and being spent.
  Beulah is now looking forward to spending her hard-earned retirement 
with her daughter Suzie. Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me 
today in honoring Beulah Spatz for her exemplary record of service and 
dedication to the company, its management and employees. And I wish to 
extend to her this institution's best wishes for health and happiness 
in the coming years.
