  Ms. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I am happy to announce that one of my 
constituents, Mrs. Georgia McGlory of Compton, California, celebrated 
her 90th birthday this past Monday, April 23. Mrs. McGlory was born in 
Oklahoma in 1922. She moved to California in 1956. Like so many other 
families during that time, including mine, Mrs. McGlory was attracted 
to the promise of a better life offered by the Golden State. She 
settled in Compton and has resided in the same home for the last 56 
years.
  Mrs. McGlory labored at Paramount Cleaners for many years, but her 
desire to further her education was unstoppable. She went back to 
school to learn Office Administration and enjoyed a productive career 
in the field. But her hard work and accomplishments did not end there. 
She saw the importance, and had the need, to be of service to 
community. So Mrs. McGlory volunteered at Compton High school, and has 
been an active member of Avalon Church in Compton for over 40 years.
  Mr. Speaker, Mrs. McGlory has achieved all of this while raising ten 
wonderful children, and she shows no signs of slowing down as she moves 
gracefully into her nineties. Mrs. McGlory has already held several 
elected offices at the Friendship Club at the Dollarhide Senior Center, 
and is continuously working to make the Senior Center a fun and 
inviting place to be.
  So on her 90th birthday, I say to Mrs. McGlory, my dear friend 
Georgia: Happy Birthday! Keep going strong for many years to come.
