  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor an extraordinary 
constituent of mine, Mrs. Vera M. Morris of Yuma, Arizona who today is 
celebrating her 87th birthday. Vera has been a resident of Yuma for 
most of her life, proudly serving her community in many distinguished 
ways. Most notably, Mrs. Morris served as the first librarian at 
Gadsden Elementary in Yuma County. She taught at Gadsden for over two 
decades, inspiring hundreds of children and showing them the importance 
of reading at an early age. Mrs. Morris is the proud mother of three 
children and has 25 grandchildren, and more than 30 great-
grandchildren.
  I hope the whole House will join me in wishing Vera a very happy 87th 
birthday surrounded by her loving family and her many friends. We also 
wish her many more happy birthdays in the future.
