the citizens of Georgia a person of great worth, a fearless leader and 
a servant to all who wants to advance the lives of others; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Hollis has been blessed with a long, happy life, 
devoted to helping others through her service in her community and 
profession; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Hollis along with her family and friends are 
celebrating this day a remarkable milestone, her 90th Birthday, we 
pause to acknowledge a woman who is a cornerstone in our community in 
DeKalb County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize Mrs. Hollis on her 
birthday and to wish her well and recognize her for an exemplary life 
which is an inspiration to all;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim
