  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my constituent, 
Rose Lenox, on the occasion of her 80th birthday.
  Rose Lenox nee Homan was born on October 19, 1931 in Towanda, 
Pennsylvania at Mills Hospital. She attended school through fourth 
grade in a one-room school house in Black, Pennsylvania, and then 
transferred to Ulster Elementary. Rose had daily responsibilities at 
the family farm, which she had to balance with her studies at Towanda 
High School. Rose met her future husband, James Lenox, in ninth grade.
  After graduating, Rose was one of the first on the job training 
students to earn a clerical job at the DuPont plant in Towanda. After 
raising her children, Rose went on to work at Finlan Insurance and the 
Towanda Country Club.
  On October 20, 1951, Rose married James Lenox at the Saints Peter and 
Paul Roman Catholic Church. Together, Rose and James have three 
children (Kathy, David, and Rosemary) and eight grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, Rose Lenox, on the 
occasion of her 80th birthday, and ask my colleagues to join in 
praising her commitment to her family and country.
