                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID SCOTT

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 14, 2006

  Mr. SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
important milestone in the life of my constituent Mrs. Maggie Katie 
Brown Kidd. On December 8, 2006, Mrs. Kidd will celebrate her 102nd 
birthday. Many family members and friends will recognize this momentous 
occasion with a party on November 24, 2006.
  Maggie Brown was the eleventh and youngest child born to William 
(Doc) and Lucy Brown. At an early age, Maggie learned the values of 
hard work and success as a laborer on her parents' farm, and continued 
in that tradition as an adult. She married Willie (Dock) Kidd, III on 
November 30, 1940, and raised two children, John and Rosalyn. Mrs. 
Brown is also a grandmother to four, and a great-grandmother to three 
children.
  Mrs. Kidd believes her faith in God has contributed to her good 
health and longevity. Her family describes her as a loving and selfless 
member of the community. When she had little to offer, Mrs. Kidd shared 
anyway. She is a principled and honorable woman, and I am proud to 
represent her in the 13th Congressional District of Georgia.
  In closing, Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the life of Mrs. Maggie Katie Brown Kidd, by wishing her a 
very happy 102nd birthday.
