Mr. Speaker. if any one knows that hard work leads to success it is Gus Stavros. my dear friend and constituent from St. Petersburg. Florida. The son of an immigrant from Crete. his success is grounded in a strong set of values which have guided him throughout his life. as a parent. a businessman. and generous philanthropist. Among the shared beliefs of Gus and Frances Stavros is a commitment to improving educational opportunities for the children of Pinellas County. Florida. With a $1 million gift in 1987. the couple spearheaded a countywide effort to establish Enterprise Village. a stateoftheart learning facility to teach fifthgraders about business and economics.
