            CELEBRATING NORMA CYNTHIA SIMON'S 100th BIRTHDAY

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Norma Cynthia 
Simon on her 100th birthday. Her life exemplifies the power of 
education, family, and service.
  Ms. Simon was born on December 15, 1925, in South America, in 
Guyana's capital, Georgetown.
  Ms. Simon devoted 35 years to learning and teaching as an educator. 
She taught her children that education is a pathway to opportunity. She 
is the mother of 5, grandmother of 10, and great-grandmother of 14.
  I am very fortunate to have her great-granddaughter, Maxe Samiko 
Hinds, in my office, continuing her great-grandmother's legacy of 
public service.
  Today, I wish Ms. Simon a happy birthday and thank her for leaving us 
a great legacy. I commend Ms. Simon on the occasion of her 100th 
birthday.
