                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 27, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Mary Helen Wainwright on the very special occasion of her 
100th birthday. She was born in Parnell, Missouri on April 10, 1918 and 
was a teacher for most of her life.
  Our world has changed a great deal during Mary Helen'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. Mary Helen has 
lived through seventeen United States Presidents and twenty-two 
Governors of Iowa. In her lifetime, the population of the United States 
has more than tripled.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Mary Helen in the United 
States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize her today. 
I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives 
join me in congratulating Mary Helen on reaching this incredible 
milestone and in wishing her nothing but the best.
