                        Wednesday, July 30, 2008

  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a dear 
friend and a special American on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
  Worthy Coe Hamling was born on August 2, 1918 on the plains of South 
Dakota. Armed with nothing more than the dogged determination, rugged 
individualism and unbending family loyalty forged by a birth attended 
only by his mother and God, Coe embodies the greatest qualities of 
America.
  It was at Hamlyn University in Minnesota that he met his loving wife 
of 66 years, Betty. His embrace of freedom, family, and the sanctity of 
every human being is balanced by his unyielding sense of responsibility 
and self-reliance. Living in Roswell, GA, Coe proudly anchors a family 
of five children, ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, I know the entire House of Representatives joins me in 
extending a hearty, happy 90th birthday to Coe Hamling--an American 
treasure!
