             CELEBRATING HELEN MORAGA ON HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate my neighbor, Helen 
Moraga's, 100th birthday.
  Helen graduated in 1945 from Santa Ana High School. After graduating, 
she played shortstop on an all-female professional baseball team in 
Orange County.
  Later, Helen married Frank Gomez Moraga, a fellow Orange County 
resident, and they raised their three sons in the same neighborhood 
they grew up in.
  Helen and Frank were married for 60 years and shared 12 grandchildren 
and 11 great-grandchildren.
  At 100 years young, Helen loves reading, gardening, and spending time 
with her friends and family.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Helen a happy birthday.
  Go Saints.
