                        Friday, November 2, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Creola Blackwell on the occasion of her 100th birthday.
  Our world has changed a great deal during Creola'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. Creola has lived through 
eighteen 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 Creola in the United States 
Congress and it is my pleasure to wish her a happy 100th birthday. I 
invite my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Creola Blackwell on reaching this incredible milestone 
and wishing her even more health and happiness in the years to come.

                          ____________________
