                      TRIBUTE TO LUCILLE ALBRIGHT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 11, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate a very special Iowan--Lucille Albright on the celebration 
of her 106th birthday on Monday, September 14th.
  Lucille has lived a wonderful life and her friends and family are 
very quick to share some of the collective stories and memories that 
have made up her 106 years. Stories like the time she went on a double 
date with a friend whose date was future U.S. President Ronald Reagan. 
They have told me memories of her bus trips to take in a baseball game 
or visit the raceway and casino near Des Moines. And, her friends and 
family have noted her strong faith and active membership of Westminster 
Presbyterian Church in Beaverdale.
  Our world has changed a great deal during the course of Lucille's 
life. Since her birth, we have revolutionized air travel and walked on 
the moon. We have invented the television, cellular phones and the 
internet. We have fought in wars overseas, seen the rise and fall of 
Soviet communism and witnessed the birth of new democracies. Lucille 
has lived through nineteen United States Presidents and twenty-three 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Lucille in the United States 
Congress because she is a shining example of Iowa values. I know that 
my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives will join 
me in congratulating her on reaching this incredible milestone, and 
wishing her much health and happiness on this very special occasion.
