              CELEBRATING ELEANOR OTTOSON'S 105TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of a 
beloved woman and an outstanding Georgian, Eleanor Ottoson.
  Eleanor and her family were recently blessed to celebrate Eleanor's 
105th birthday. Born on a warm day in May of 1917, Eleanor spread her 
love across New Jersey and Pennsylvania before finally finding a home 
in McIntosh County, Georgia.
  Mrs. Ottoson diligently served her community as a registered nurse 
and now continues this service as an active member of Morgan's Chapel 
United Methodist Church.
  A mother and a grandmother, Eleanor's heart holds no shortage of 
love. She shares this love by helping around her church, knitting bags, 
singing songs, and sharing her life with all those around her.
  When asked about how she has lived to her outstanding age of 105, 
Eleanor spoke of her lifelong commitment to health. Mrs. Ottoson never 
smoked and never drank to excess. Instead, she made a point to 
eat well, sleep well, and treat others well.

  I smile when I hear about the great joy going on in the lives of my 
constituents, and I am so thankful Eleanor's loved ones continue to 
have her with them through these years.
