  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th birthday 
of Shirley Weiss, born Sarah Hengber, in Brooklyn, New York, on 
September 1, 1916. Shirley is one of 6 children born to Yetta and 
Samuel Hengber, both Russian immigrants, who after meeting in Poland, 
came to the United States in the early 1900s, to raise their large 
family.
  Shirley married Harold Weiss on September 11, 1938, and raised two 
daughters in Bronx County, serving seventeen years at the Internal 
Revenue Service. Shirley retired in 1977 and with Harold, moved to bask 
in the Sunshine State. Over the last 40 years, she has enjoyed hosting 
visits with her family that includes 4 grandchildren and 4 great-grand 
daughters to whom she is a loving role model. Still a voracious reader, 
we honor Shirley's wonderful milestone of 100 years, and hereby 
acknowledge and commend her on this amazing achievement.
