Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Arthur B. Brown who celebrates his 90th birthday this week. Mr. Brown was born on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 1908 to Hungarian immigrants. After the death of his father when he was only 17 years old. Mr. Brown was forced to quit high school and work to support his family. At 20. he became the youngest person to become a licensed plumber in the city of New York. Mr. Browns successful business and his genuine understanding of the plumbing profession lead to his invention of the Holby Tempering Valve. an instrument which is now used around the world.
