                          Friday, May 3, 2013

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Elizabeth 
Sherman, a resident of Sandwich, Massachusetts, who celebrates her 
100th birthday today.
  Elizabeth, or Betty as her family and friends know her, was born on 
May 3, 1913, to the Burns family. She later married Alvin Sherman of 
Brookline, Massachusetts. Betty and Alvin would go on to raise their 
five children together: Ann, Bud, Mary, Jeanie, and Elaine. The Sherman 
family later settled in Arlington, outside Boston. Betty, a dedicated 
and caring mother, also helped support her family by working as a 
secretary at Harvard University and the Chase Brass & Copper Company.
  The Shermans enjoyed many summers at their vacation home on the Cape, 
and Betty and Alvin would later retire to Sagamore Beach. Though Alvin 
passed away in 1995, Betty's loving family has grown to include six 
grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Elizabeth Sherman on this joyous 
occasion of her 100th birthday. I ask that my colleagues join me in 
wishing her many more years of health and happiness.
