                        CELEBRATING DORA WHITING

  (Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate someone truly 
special, a person whose presence has touched so many lives at the 
University of Mary Washington.
  After 30 years of dedicated service to the dining team, Dora Whiting 
is retiring.
  I want to take a moment to recognize her immense impact on our 
community by naming her my ``Constituent of the Week.''
  From her iconic ``It's Friday!'' moments to the joy she brings when 
students walk by Woodard Hall, her positive energy has made a lasting 
impression on all she meets.
  Her compassion and unwavering support for students and faculty alike 
have helped create a welcoming environment that will be remembered for 
years to come.
  I know the students at Mary Washington will certainly miss her 
constant presence, and I join them in celebrating her retirement and 
her legacy.
