Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this time to pay tribute to the late "Rocky" Marciano. former heavyweight champion of the world and a native of Brockton. Mass.. a city which I have the honor of representing. "Rocky." born of immigrant parents. had a dream and the implementation of his dream is surely an American classic. With hard work. courage. stamina. and determination he fulfilled his childhood vow of making something of himself. It is not so much what he did but how "Rocky" did it that wins my praise and admiration. Goals set. he never waivered. Success only added to his characternever corrupted.
