  WHEREAS, Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and  knowledge
to  the  increasingly  active  roles they play in today's society; their

valuable asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

The Egg, Albany, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge  the outstanding contributions made by older citizens during
National Older Americans Month; and

  WHEREAS, Members of older generations have helped  build  and  shape
our  Nation  to  be  the  greatest  in the world; they have defended our
freedoms and values to ensure that those who come after  them  may  have
better  lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts more
visible and more a part of the lives of all citizens than  here  in  the
State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Born  in Manhattan, New York, young Gregory Barulich could
often be found on the golf course or reading in a used bookstore;  after
graduating  from  high school, he proudly served his country as a member
of the United States Army; and

  WHEREAS, Upon  the  completion  of  his  military  service,  Gregory
Barulich  worked  as  a  Senior Project Engineer-Distinguished Associate
with Corning Inc.  for 38 years; and

  WHEREAS, Since 2007,  Gregory  Barulich  has  been  an  enthusiastic
volunteer with the Chemung Volunteer Action Corps, donating his time and
energies working with the American Red Cross and his church; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition,  Gregory Barulich enjoys sharing his passion
for reading with first graders at Pine City Elementary School, and  both
Cornell   Cooperative   Extension's   Ag   Literacy   Week   and  Summer
Literacy/Learning Program; he truly loves to be around young people  and
is always ready and willing to accept a hug from any child; and

  WHEREAS,  With  him  throughout  has  been  his  wife  of  31 years,
Christine, their four children, and six grandchildren, all of whom  have
shown him love and support and rejoice in his many achievements; and

  WHEREAS,  Rare  indeed  is  the  impressive  dedication  shown by an
individual  for  the  benefit  of  others  which  Gregory  Barulich  has
displayed throughout his life; and

  WHEREAS,  Gregory Barulich, a very active and industrious gentleman,
has inspired and enriched the lives  of  those  he  serves  through  his
volunteerism,  generously  sharing  the  wisdom  gained  over  years  of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it
