  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise to honor Mrs. Autine Buchanan on the occasion of her 104th 
birthday.
  Born in 1904, Mrs. Buchanan has witnessed much change in our Nation 
and world. The year she was born, the New York subway first opened and 
the teddy bear was first produced.
  Mrs. Buchanan has lived through two world wars, and watched our 
nation develop into what it is today. She also witnessed the birth of 
many modern inventions--like the helicopter, penicillin, motion 
pictures, stainless steel, and even scotch tape. Through all this 
change, she has dedicated much of her life to feeding and caring for 
the needy.
  Mrs. Buchanan has been a resident of Mobile and a member of the 
Fulton Road Baptist Church for 39 years. She is a proud mother, 
grandmother, and great grandmother. She is also a member of the 
LivingWell Health Center in Mobile.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Mrs. 
Autine Buchanan on the occasion of her 104th birthday. She is a friend 
to many throughout south Alabama, and I know her friends and family 
join me in wishing her a happy birthday.
