                       Wednesday, April 29, 1998

  Mr. JOHNSON of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today, it is my great honor 
and pleasure to wish a very happy birthday to Mrs. Regina Hiebel of 
Appleton, Wisconsin on the occasion of her 100th birthday. Mrs. Hiebel 
will reach the century mark on May 8 of this year, an incredible 
milestone.
  She has lived to enjoy what Cicero called ``the crown of life.'' She 
is blessed by many years, and all who spend time with her are blessed 
by her company. Mrs. Hiebel's friends know her to be kind and 
fascinating and courageous. I am even told that she elected to have 
surgery at the tender age of 92, a brave decision indeed.
  Mrs. Hiebel continues to lead a vibrant life. Even in her most recent 
years, she has traveled the country, and her friends tell me she still 
has meals with friends every day and has her hair done every week.
  I know all of Appleton and the people of Northeast Wisconsin join me 
in wishing Regina Hiebel a happy, happy 100th birthday.
