  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
to recognize the 100th birthday of Alice Lee Thomason Walkup.
  Alice was born on September 4, 1917 to Dr. James Wiley Thomason and 
Virginia Land Mizelle Thomason in Bullock County. She had one brother 
and one sister that she called ``Denny'' and ``Son.''
  Alice attended Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama and after 
Huntingdon attended Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
  When she returned to Alabama, she worked as a social worker in Bibb 
County, Alabama and married Reverend Bob Walkup in 1943. Bob was a 
Presbyterian minister in Ozark, Alabama. They were blessed with four 
children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
  As the wife of a minister, she lived in numerous states including 
Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee.
  Alice presently lives in Auburn, Alabama.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 100th birthday of 
Alice Lee Thomason Walkup.
