         RECOGNIZING MRS. VIOLET B. HANNA ON HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. ROYCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my sincerest 
congratulations and happy birthday wishes to Mrs. Violet B. Hanna, who 
will be celebrating her 100th birthday on July 23.
  Born in Los Angeles on July 23, 1913, to Albert Wogatzke and Ella 
Bussjaeger, Violet is the oldest daughter of nine children. She married 
William Hanna on August 6, 1936. She lovingly raised a family of two 
children, has seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. She has 
enjoyed wonderful health all of her life. She was raised on a farm, was 
a straight A student, and was so devoted to family that after 
graduating from high school, she gave up a full scholarship to 
Occidental College to start working in L.A. to support the rest of her 
family in Imperial Valley.
  Violet has witnessed momentous changes in our Nation's history. Her 
life reflects a contribution to that history. I hope her century of 
memories brings much pride and joy to herself and family members.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Violet on this 
remarkable milestone. I wish her a special day shared in the company of 
her family and friends, and all the best in the years ahead.
