  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to request the 
House's attention today to pay recognition to a special day in the life 
of a constituent of mine, Ms. Ida Mae Duke Rice.
  On May 25, Ms. Rice will celebrate her 100th birthday. To help 
commemorate this special occasion, her friends and family are holding a 
celebration on June 20 at Barfield Baptist Church.
  Ida Mae Duke Rice was born in Clay County, AL to Steve Morris and 
Zeda Eudora Duke. She married Charlie Henry Rice on February 26, 1930 
and has five children, 10 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 1 
great-great-grandchild.
  Ms. Rice served as an LPN at Lineville Nursing Home and retired after 
30 years of service. She is a member of New Fellowship Baptist Church.
  I would like to congratulate Ms. Rice on reaching this important 
milestone in her life, and wish her the happiest of birthdays at this 
special occassion.
