Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to recognize a dear\nfriend, Jerry Friedman, who this year is celebrating his remarkable\n90th birthday in addition to his 63rd wedding anniversary to his\nwonderful wife, Lillian.\n  Lillian and Jerry were married in the Bronx on December 10th, 1955.\nTogether they have two children, Lynn and Stuart, who were both born\nwhile the couple lived in Brooklyn, and now 2 grandchildren, Sophie and\nBen. In 1971, the Friedman family moved to Co-op City, which is where\nPat and I met them as members of the Co-op City Democratic Club. We\nhave been close ever since.\n  Jerry was a very active member on the Riverbay Board for many years,\nand at one point served as Vice President for three terms. He was also\ninstrumental in the rent strike, acting as an advocate for residents.\nWhen I first ran for State Assembly, Jerry and Lillian were two of my\nearliest supporters. I'll never forget the faith they placed in me.\n  Outside of his activism, Jerry is a wonderful amateur photographer\nwhose pictures have hung in the Riverdale Y and other local spots. He\nwas also very active in the Boy Scouts and over the years rose to their\nhighest office.\n  In addition, Jerry served on the Board of Visitors at Bronx\nPsychiatric Center, which provides a continuum of inpatient, outpatient\nand related psychiatric services with inpatient hospitalization at the\nmain campus.\n  Mr. Speaker, I have long cherished my friendship with Jerry Friedman\nand I count myself incredibly fortunate to have known him for so many\nyears. He is a terrific individual who has done so much to help\nstrengthen our community here in the Bronx, and I am honored to be able\nto recognize him on this wonderful occasion. Congratulations to Jerry\non an incredible 90 years.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1739-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 48.86285692919046, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
