CELEBRATING HARVEY SOLWAY ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY
______
HON. HALEY M. STEVENS

Friday, March 26, 2021
Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 70th birthday of Mr. Harvey Solway of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, who reached this milestone on March 24th.
Harvey has spent his long and loving life dedicated to his beloved family and countless friends. He has maintained a vibrant career as the successful Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus, and now investment enterprises.
Harvey's family encouraged friends around the country to write to him and share a favorite memory, and I would like to include mine here for this record.
It is well known that the first time I met Harvey Solway was when I was in high school, and I entered his house after school with his daughter, Allison, one of my best friends. I mistakenly thought he was asking me how my day went, when in fact, he was speaking to his wife. My precocious seventeen-year-old self responded that I was exasperated to find out that a government education program for young adults had concluded its application period, and that I had missed the deadline.
While Allison regales many with this story frequently, what many do not know is that Harvey Solway was one of the first people to encourage my run for Congress.
Harvey has lent generous wisdom and counsel to many aspiring young professionals. He does so without seeking credit or attention, but because he likes to contribute to the better outcomes of those around him. Today, I am pleased to celebrate my friend, Harvey, on his birthday. I am glad that he got to spend this milestone day with his loving wife, Nancy, by his side. Here's to many more.
