               HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO GERALDINE AMSTUTZ

  (Mr. HAGEDORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAGEDORN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Geraldine Amstutz of 
Rochester, Minnesota, who will celebrate her 100th birthday on March 
15.
  Geraldine was born on March 15, 1921, in Grabill, Indiana, a small 
town founded and named after her grandfather.
  After graduating high school at the top of her class, Geraldine went 
on to study music in college.
  In 1943, Geraldine married Tillman Amstutz, with whom she would spend 
the next 63 years raising four children and eventually settling in 
Rochester.
  Geraldine has always loved music, especially playing the piano, but 
her greatest passions involve people and art. For decades she has made 
personalized, homemade cards, sending thousands over the years to 
encourage, lift up, honor, and celebrate others. Approaching her 
centennial birthday, Geraldine continues making cards to bless others 
with her kindness and compassion.
  Here is to 100 terrific years, Geraldine.
