Mr. President. I rise today to pay tribute to an outstanding individual and a personal friend. Alex Schoenbaum. On November 21. 1991. the American Jewish Committees Institute of Human Relations will pay tribute to Alex by presenting him with the SarasotaSouth Central Florida 1991 Human Relations Award. I can confidently state. without a doubt. that there is not a more deserving individual. Alexs father. who was an immigrant. started the first Shoneys restaurant in Charleston. WV. Back in the fifties. Shoneys was the gathering place for many Charleston teenagers. Alex built that one small drivein into one of the largest restaurant chains on the east coast.
