         HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO LOTTIE HARRIS ROLLINS DUNSTON

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Today, family and friends will gather to celebrate 
the 100th birthday of Lottie Harris Rollins Dunston, a wonderful human 
being who has lived in Wake County, North Carolina, her entire life.
  ``Grandlottie,'' as she is affectionately called, is the second 
eldest of 13 siblings, 7 of whom are still living and advanced in age. 
After working her way through historic Fayetteville State College, she 
went on to become an elementary teacher, where she shaped young minds 
for 41 long years.
  Today, Grandlottie is a lover of Shakespeare and politics and, most 
of all, cherishes her independence. So often she can be seen driving 
her white pickup truck as she shops for her needs with her 5-year-old 
chocolate lab, Diva.
  Madam Speaker, Grandlottie loves her supportive family that includes 
granddaughter Jacquelyn Rollins Wynn, whose husband serves on the U.S. 
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
  We pray that Grandlottie continues to enjoy health and happiness for 
many more years. Happy birthday to you. And most of all, thank you for 
making North Carolina a better place to live and work.
