  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the 
life of Ms. Carrie Coleman Robinson, a citizen of Hilton Head Island 
who will celebrate her 100th birthday on April 21, 2006.
  The Hilton Head Island Town Council recently issued the following 
proclamation in her honor:
  Whereas, Carrie Coleman Robinson, her family, and friends will be 
gathering on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina from April 21-23, 2006 
to celebrate her 100th birthday, and
  Whereas, many of Ms. Robinson's family and friends will be coming 
from such diverse locations as Minnesota, California, Indiana, Alabama, 
North Carolina and Illinois, and
  Whereas, Carrie Coleman Robinson was born April 21, 1906 to James and 
Cordelia Coleman in Madison County, Pocahontas, Mississippi, and
  Whereas, Carrie was the 5th of 6 siblings, all of whom are now 
deceased, and
  Whereas, Carrie was married to Dr. Thomas L. Robinson of Hilton Head 
Island for 54 years until his death in 1989, and
  Whereas, Ms. Robinson's education is unparalleled as she received an 
Associate Bachelor's degree from Tougaloo College in 1931, a BLS degree 
from the Hampton Institute in 1932, and an MLS degree from the 
University of Illinois in 1949 while she also attended Columbia 
University from 1940-41 and Advanced Studies from 1953-55,
  Now, therefore the Hilton Head Island Town Council hereby proclaims
