                        Thursday, March 23, 2023

  Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my Happy Birthday 
wishes to Mr. David Fulstone, who will celebrate his 100th birthday on 
Saturday, April 1, 2023.
  David Hill Fulstone was born on April 1, 1923, in San Francisco, 
California as the second of five children to the late Fred and Dr. Mary 
Fulstone. Raised in Nevada's Smith Valley on the family sheep ranching 
operation, the values of hard work and service were instilled in David 
at an early age. Throughout his youth, he worked as a ranch hand, and 
especially loved sheep camp.
  He was also the star of the Smith Valley Bulldogs basketball team, 
before graduating in 1942. After high school, David pursued his passion 
and bought his own farm, growing hay, garlic, and onions.
  In 1945, David married his best girl and forever dance partner, 
Angelina Margaroli. They were faithfully married for 63 years until

Angelina's passing in 2008. Over the years, they were blessed with two 
children, DeeAnn Fulstone and David Hill Fulstone II, and four 
grandchildren.
  David was an active member of the Farm Bureau, traveling across the 
country to many of the annual meetings and advocating on behalf of 
Nevada's farmers and ranchers. He even received the Farmer of Year 
Award, the result of his tireless support of the agriculture community.
  While David retired from farming in 2010, he continued to love 
gardening and often shared the rewards of his labor with everyone in 
town.
  David's contributions to his community go beyond farming. From 
becoming the longest and oldest member of the Yerington Rotary Club to 
serving as a board member of the Lyon County Hospital Council, northern 
Nevada has benefited greatly from his time and commitment.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives 
to join me and the people of Nevada in honoring this outstanding 
citizen and family man on his 100th birthday.
