  Mr. ARCURI. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Mrs. Ethel 
Hertline of Utica, New York who celebrated her 100th birthday on 
January 19, 2007. I am in awe of her years of experience and lifetime 
of joy. It is a pleasure to celebrate Mrs. Hertline's birthday and all 
that she has seen in her 100 years.
  Mrs. Hertline was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, on January 19, 1907 
to Edgar and Jessie House. She married John Charles Hertline on 
November 25, 1925 at St. John's Church in Camden, New Jersey. Together 
they had 4 children: John, Mary, Anna, and Harry; 18 grandchildren who 
reside in New York, Mississippi, Virginia, and the Philippines; 34 
great grandchildren who reside in Florida, New York, Mississippi, 
Virginia, Washington, and the Philippines; and 2 great-great 
grandchildren who reside in Washington.
  During her lifetime, Mrs. Hertline worked at Fort Schuyler Knitting 
Mill in Utica, New York, during World War II crocheting various items 
including afghans, bed dolls, and mittens. She also enjoys doing 
crossword puzzles and has a pet parakeet named Andy.
  Mrs. Hertline has truly lived the American experience, and I would 
like to wish her another 100 years of happiness.
