  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to an extraordinary woman from Glenwood Springs, Colorado. 
Ann Cameron is a wonderful person who brings warmth to the hearts of 
everyone she meets with her gentle laugh and remarkable sense of humor. 
Her enthusiasm spreads throughout the community as she passes her 
wisdom and knowledge on to future generations. I would like to join my 
colleagues here today in recognizing Ann's tremendous dedication to the 
Glenwood Springs community.
  Ann celebrated her 101st birthday on November 12th. She was born in 
1902 in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma before it became a state. As 
one of eight children, she grew up milking cows and picking cotton on 
the family farm before she went on to teacher's college. Ann became a 
stenographer and worked for attorneys most of her life. She credits 
reaching her second century with hard work and staying busy.
  Mr. Speaker, Ann Cameron is a gracious individual who enriches the 
lives of many members of her Glenwood Springs community. Ann has 
demonstrated a love for humanity that resonates in her life-long work 
ethic and compassionate personality that has led her to the exceptional 
milestone she celebrates this year. Ann's enthusiasm and dedication 
certainly deserve the recognition of this body of Congress. 
Congratulations on your 101st birthday Ann. May you have many more to 
come!
