                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 28, 2012

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commemorate the 90th birthday 
of Rosario Perez-Pena, who was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 
February 28, 1922.
   Rosario was married to the late Luis-Perez Soto, who was an 
accountant, writer, poet, playwright, musician, artist and actor. 
Together, they had four children, and she is now the proud grandmother 
of eight and great-grandmother of 18. She has spent most of her life in 
Puerto Rico, but also lived in New York for 24 years. She has designed 
and made most of her own clothes, and has been an active reader and 
voter throughout her life.
   I join her family in wishing her a very happy birthday on this 
special day.

                          ____________________
