  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Margie Ann 
Luetkemeyer Luebbert on the celebration of her 90th Birthday.
   On August 3, 1928, Margie was born to Henry and Regina Luetkemeyer 
in Meta, Missouri and was a welcomed addition to the families of her 
beloved grandparents Anton and Anna Luetkemeyer and George and Angela 
Dickneite. A joyous union of marriage began when Margie married her 
late husband Fritz on February 4, 1950. Fritz and Margie welcomed 4 
children to their family: Kathy, Steven, Mark, and Kristen. Margie 
enjoys the love of 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren with 2 
more on the way.
   Throughout the years, Margie worked for Mid-America Bank in Meta. In 
her retirement, she has been committed to public service in various 
capacities. The community banks in Meta and Linn have benefited from 
her banking experience by her service on the board of directors. Margie 
has also been actively involved with the St. Cecelia Parish in Meta and 
especially enjoys the yearly picnic. Margie and I share a love of 
baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals along with her favorite college 
team, the University of Missouri Tigers. The love of sports runs in 
Margie's family and many of her children and grandchildren are involved 
in local and college sports such as: baseball, basketball, and 
softball. She is their biggest cheerleader at their sporting events.
   Of her many accomplishments, Margie considers one of her greatest to 
be the organization of the family reunion for the Anton and Anna 
Luetkemeyer family in Jefferson City in 1992. It was certainly no small 
feat with the 15 descendants and their families for a total of over 450 
people joining the celebration that day. The reunion was such a grand 
event the local TV station reported on it during their evening 
newscast.
   Mr. Speaker, please join me in wishing Margie Ann Luetkemeyer 
Luebbert a very Happy 90th Birthday. Best wishes for much happiness and 
health in the years to come.
