                        Thursday, July 25, 2019

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 
celebration of Leonard Sauer's 100th birthday.
  Leonard was born on August 15, 1919. He owns and operates Village 
View Dairy Farm in Kellnersville, Wisconsin. Leonard considers himself 
a lifelong farmer, recalling the days growing up on the farm where he 
worked from 7 in the morning to 6 at night year-round. When he wasn't 
working on the farm, Leonard and his brother enjoyed watching the local 
baseball team.
  On November 12, 1947, Leonard married his wife, Helen and they 
cherished 64 years of marriage together. The couple raised two sons, 
Gary and John. Leonard built the farmhouse the family lived in from the 
ground.
  An active member of the community, Leonard still attends mass at St. 
Joseph's Catholic Church every Sunday and regularly attends meetings 
for the Western Fraternal Life Association, which he has been a member 
of for over 70 years.

  Madam Speaker, it is truly an honor to recognize this monumental 
occasion in Leonard's life. May he have a happy and healthy 100th 
birthday.
