  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of one of my 
distinguished and active constituents, Mr. Bill Rotch, on his 100th 
birthday; he is a beloved member of the Peterborough, NH community that 
I am proud to represent in Congress. On March 28, 2016, Bill will 
celebrate his 100th birthday. We commemorate Bill's birthday with awe 
and inspiration as he is a true example of what has made the Granite 
State such a strong and vibrant place.
  Bill Rotch was the publisher and editor of The Cabinet, an iconic New 
Hampshire newspaper, for many decades. Last year Mr. Rotch was 
recognized with the Boston Post Cane, an honor bestowed upon the oldest 
resident of Peterborough.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to recognize the 100th birthday of one 
of my most engaged constituents, Bill Rotch. I ask that you and my 
other distinguished colleagues join me in celebrating this milestone in 
his remarkable life.
