                       Tuesday, February 1, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
a woman who has recently celebrated her 100th birthday.
  Annie Goffredi was born on January 5, 1900, in Missouri. She moved to 
Colorado with her husband so that he could mine for coal.
  Annie acknowledges that many changes have taken place in the last 100 
years. She has been witness to the first uses of many inventions 
including: washing machines, electricity, cars and even musical 
instruments. Annie's first memories of a car involve a man that would 
give the children rides after school. Annie also rode in a car to go 
into town to vote.
  Annie has enjoyed being able to travel to Russia and Europe. She also 
enjoys reading and attributes that interest to her father.
  Although she does not have an anecdote for living to be 100 years 
old, Annie says that she is grateful to just live.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to offer my 
congratulations and best wishes for Annie Goffredi as she celebrates 
her 100th birthday.y
