  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mrs. Marie Pool on the occasion of her 101st birthday on 
March, 15, 2016.
  Marie was born on a farm near Williamson, Iowa and spent her youth 
helping on the farm and milking cows. She attended country school and 
Bridgewater High School. She married Virgil Pool in 1933 and they had 
three children, Donnie, Betty and Peggy. Marie quilted and loved to 
dance. Now, she lives at Greenfield Rehabilitation and Health Care 
Center in Greenfield, Iowa and enjoys bingo and ice cream socials. She 
attributes clean living and hard work to her longevity.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Marie Pool in the United 
States Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a very happy 101st 
birthday. I invite my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Marie on reaching this incredible milestone, 
and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years to come.
