  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise to express 
congratulations to Ms. Florence Logan of Hillside, Illinois on the 
occasion of her 100th birthday which took place on October 27, 2009.
  Ms. Logan is one of rare individuals who have not only lived a long 
life, but have lived a long and productive life. She has been a bright 
shining star whose life has been a beacon of hope. She has been active 
in politics for many years. She worked as an Election Judge, volunteer, 
ran a family store in the Garfield Park Community before moving to 
Hillside. She and her husband were married for 72 years and represented 
the true essence of family. She and her husband have five children, 
twelve grandchildren, and fifteen great-grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, it is a great honor for me to offer this tribute to 
Ms. Logan, congratulate her on her accomplishments and wish her well as 
she continues a very productive life.
