             HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF CONSTER DAVIS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Cloud) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CLOUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Conster Davis and 
to wish her a very happy 100th birthday.
  Ms. Davis is a citizen of south Texas whose life has been 
characterized by a servant-hearted desire to help others and to work 
hard.
  During World War II, she drove rivets into airplane wings, playing 
her part, along with countless other American women, in the war effort.
  Today, at 100 years old, she spends her time supporting the students 
and staff at Galvan Elementary School in Corpus Christi, Texas, where 
she is affectionately known as Granny Davis.
  She mentors the pre-K students and helps teachers with clerical work. 
She also served as a Senior Corps Foster Grandparent for 25 years, 
mentoring young people and pouring into them during some of the most 
formative years of their lives.
  Ms. Davis loves caring for young people and shows it by investing 
much of her time and energy into the children of Corpus Christi.
  It is difficult to imagine the tremendous impact Ms. Conster Davis 
has had in living a life of service that continues today to impact 
generation after generation.
  On behalf of the people of the 27th Congressional District of Texas, 
I am proud to honor her life and service.
