  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the 
accomplishments of a very special woman, Ella Adene Kemp Bampfield. Ms. 
Bampfield was born June 29, 1905, in Waynesville, NC. She is the fourth 
of nine children born to Elijah Melton and Lelia Love Kemp.
  Ms. Bampfield is a graduate of Fayetteville State Normal College, in 
North Carolina, and Howard University and Cortez Peters University, in 
Washington, DC. After teaching in the North Carolina school system for 
7 years, she relocated to Washington DC, and began a career with the 
Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where she 
retired in 1969 after 28 years and 11 months of dedicated service.
  A member of the John Wesley AME Zion Church since 1934, Ms. Bampfield 
is affiliated with the Education and June Calendar Clubs. She has 
traveled extensively and is the mother of one son and grandmother of 
two. Celebrating her 90th birthday, Ella represents a longstanding 
tradition of dedicated service to her family, community, and her 
church. It is my pleasure to recognize the contributions of a 
remarkable woman, Ms. Ella Adene Kemp Bampfield.
