significant and happy milestone with family and friends at a restaurant
in Pelham, New York; and

to their family, friends and all who know them are their hallmark and

and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and
WHEREAS, Not unlike many young couples in the 1950s, Leonard and Saun-
dra Honig met at Grossinger's Resort in the Catskill Mountains; Leonard

producing a family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community and committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, Leonard and Saundra Honig have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of their marriage,
which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which they possess
for one another; and
WHEREAS, The longevity of this enduring marriage truly marks a mile-
stone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and

sion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should be
memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Leonard and Saundra Honig upon the occasion of
celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
