   CONGRATULATING THE TOWN OF WINDSOR, VIRGINIA, ON THEIR CENTENNIAL 
                              CELEBRATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. RANDY FORBES

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 18, 2002

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the town of 
Windsor in Isle of Wight County, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which 
is celebrating its centennial this year.
  Originally discovered in the 17th Century by early settlers, Windsor 
served as an important route for mail and trade throughout America's 
early colonial days. One cannot separate Windsor's history from 
America's history.
  On April 11, 1902, Windsor was granted its charter from the Virginia 
General Assembly. Since then, Windsor has grown with the times while 
never forgetting its rich history and small town charm.
  Today, Windsor, Virginia, is a culturally and economically diverse 
community. With its status as one of the best places to live in 
Virginia and continued high standard of living and education, Windsor 
is a community that residents can be proud to call home.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge you and all of my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Windsor during its centennial year as the citizens of 
Windsor begin an exciting new century.
