  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate a fellow 
Hoosier who is celebrating her 97th birthday, Mrs. Nellie Esther 
Hunter. Mrs. Hunter is a truly remarkable woman who embodies Hoosier 
values to the fullest. A native of Argos, Indiana she attended the one-
room Santa Ana School

House. Like many Hoosiers, she worked on her family's farm where she 
learned a strong work ethic, something she has utilized throughout her 
life. She has been blessed with three children, four grandchildren and 
one great grandchild. At the age of 81, she earned her General 
Education Development degree and was awarded ``Adult Student of the 
Year'' by the State of Indiana. A woman deeply committed to the 
community around her, she continued to serve others by working as a 
tutor at a local private school until last year and volunteered at the 
local food pantry.
  I want to sincerely thank Mrs. Hunter for her service and recognize 
her unwavering commitment to her community. It is my honor to offer my 
congratulations to Mrs. Hunter on this special occasion. I wish her a 
very happy birthday and many more years of continued health and 
happiness.
