                      TRIBUTE TO RUBY MAE KORNEGAY

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and pay tribute to 
a great American, Miss Ruby Mae Kornegay, a Kinston, North Carolina, 
resident, who on May 3 turned 106 years old.
  Born in 1916, Miss Kornegay has been a blessing to her friends, 
church, and community. She continues to live in the same house in which 
she was born, the same house owned by her parents.
  Mr. Speaker, Ruby Kornegay graduated from Adkin High School during 
the Great Depression and then graduated from Winston-Salem Teachers 
College. Thereupon, she returned to her beloved Kinston and became a 
classroom teacher for 40 long years.
  Now retired, Miss Kornegay enjoys time with her family and friends. 
She is a lifelong member of White Rock Presbyterian Church where her 
pastor, Reverend H. Maurice Barnes, also serves as my district outreach 
staffer.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing this 
great American, Miss Ruby Mae Kornegay.
