Mr. Speaker. It should also be noted that the nine honorees are in fact a reflection of the melting pot which Paterson has been since its beginning. and continues to be for Immigrants from many lands. for these honorees come from black. Hispanic. Jewish. and Italian families. which emigrated to this city to seek their fortunes. And all of the honorees share warm. close feelings about this hometown which helped to nurture them and develop their careers. Phil Bodner has had an outstanding career as a jazz musician. arranger. and composer. playing five woodwind Instrumentsclarinet. oboe. flute. alto. and tenor saxophone. with many of the countrys major bands and or. chestras.
