  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I recently had the pleasure of attending 
Pat Witt's 95th birthday celebration in Vineland, South Jersey. As a 
lifelong native of Millville, Pat has played an integral role in 
encouraging the appreciation and participation of the fine arts 
throughout the South Jersey community. Pat's artistic talents have been 
honored through private and public collections across the globe. The 
Barn Studio of Art, founded by Pat in 1962, is one of her largest 
accomplishments. Throughout the years, The Barn has been a hub for the 
New Jersey Art community. Through Pat's work at the Barn Studio, she 
has taught and inspired thousands of students with her enthusiasm for 
the arts. Pat should be proud of her hard work and dedication, which 
has truly touched the lives of many, and it was an honor to be able to 
attend her birthday celebration. God bless Pat, and God Bless our 
America.
