                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 6, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mary Naughton 
on the celebration of her 90th birthday on April 29, 2008.
  Mary was born on April 29, 1918 in Illinois. She moved to 
Marshalltown, Iowa in 1948 when she married John Naughton. They happily 
had two daughters, three sons, nine grandchildren and one great-
grandson. Mary currently resides in Marshalltown and is an active 
member of St. Mary's Catholic Church.
  There have been many changes that have occurred during the past 
ninety years.
  Since Mary's birth we have revolutionized air travel and walked on 
the moon. We have invented the television and the Internet. We have 
fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of Soviet communism and 
the birth of new democracies. Mary has lived through sixteen United 
States Presidents and twenty Governors of Iowa. And, in her lifetime 
the population of the United States has nearly tripled.
  I congratulate Mary Naughton for reaching this milestone of a 
birthday. I am extremely honored to represent Mary in the United States 
Congress and I wish her happiness and health for many years to come.

                          ____________________
