                      Wednesday, September 9, 2009

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Frank N. Barrett of Citrus County, Florida. In a couple of days, 
Frank will do something that all of us strive to do, but that very few 
of us will ever accomplish, celebrate his 100th birthday.
  Born September 10, 1909 in East Orange, New Jersey, Frank is the 
oldest of seven children. He owned and operated a chemical and 
machinery business in Connecticut before he and his family moved to 
Florida more than 25 years ago. Frank is the loving father to six 
children, 11 grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren!
  Frank loves to dance and has fond memories of teaching his wife and 
dancing partner of 52 years, Ingrid, the Tango.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in honoring Frank N. Barrett 
for reaching his 100th birthday. I hope we all have the good fortune to 
live as long as him.

                          ____________________
