                           HON. RUSS CARNAHAN

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 22, 2007

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Madam Speaker, today I would like to honor Saint Louis 
community leader Isadore Erwin ``I.E.'' Millstone for his centennial 
birthday that occurred on January 6, 2007.
  In the past several decades, Mr. Millstone has been nothing less than 
a business and civic visionary, contributing greatly both to the Saint 
Louis region and to the larger world.
  With his firm, Millstone Construction Company, I.E. Millstone has 
literally built Saint Louis. His works include the Busch Memorial 
Stadium, highway 64/40, and the Federal Building downtown. His company 
has constructed everything from office towers to shopping malls to 
bridges and you can witness his work throughout the area.
  Not content with achieving merely financial success, Mr. Millstone 
has been a dedicated philanthropist as well.
  The impact of his leadership and generosity has been felt far and 
wide, from his local efforts, securing the Jewish community center for 
the St. Louis Jewish population and providing the resources for 
scholarships and various campus structures at Washington University, to 
his international efforts in Israel, building sustainable housing for 
new immigrants and helping to establish the Hebrew University.
  For his hard work the world over, Mr. Millstone has been honored with 
numerous awards. He has earned the respect and admiration of not only 
family and mends but his community.
  Madam Speaker, Mr. Millstone has been a true patriarch of the Saint 
Louis area, and it is my honor to recognize his 100 years of life.
