                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 3, 2018

  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a very special 
person, Eleanore Simon, who on July 25, 2018, celebrated her 107th 
birthday.
  Eleanore is a native of Amelia Island, Florida, where she still lives 
today. Even at 107 years-old, Eleanore drives her golf cart to and from 
water aerobics several times a week. She is always on the move, and 
from what I have learned about her, she has no plan to slow down any 
time soon.
  At her birthday party, Eleanore enjoyed cake and a glass of champagne 
surrounded by her family and friends. She has brought much joy to those 
around her, and those who know her say her smile and genuine spirit 
lights up every room.
  Today, I honor Ms. Eleanore Simon's noteworthy longevity and 
tremendous life in our Northeast Florida community. I ask this entire 
body to join me in celebrating Eleanore's 107th birthday. May we all 
aspire to live as long and full a life.
