           HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO ROBERT ``BOB'' AIKEN, JR.

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, residents are pulling out 
their cameras to take pictures with the legendary Robert ``Bob'' Aiken, 
Jr., of Snow Hill, North Carolina, in celebration of his 100th 
birthday.
  Born and raised in Snow Hill, Bob went to college and returned home 
in 1945, discovering his passion for photography and opening Bob Aiken 
Photography.
  For more than 70 years, he was the local photographer, and through 
his eyes and camera lenses, he captured the most precious moments of 
our residents.
  If you wanted pictures of that special occasion, prom, or wedding, 
call Bob. He is even known for just showing up on occasion.
  Bob was married to the love of his life, Seroba, for 64 years.
  Mr. Speaker, his deep love for his family, our community, and 
capturing so many historic moments is unparalleled. The Greene County 
Board of Commissioners has designated September 21 as Bob Aiken Day.
  Now, smile and say cheese, Bob. Happy birthday.
