         IN TRIBUTE TO LUCY BENOIT LEGER ON HER 100TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHARLES BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 12, 2007

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to send birthday wishes 
from the Congress to Lucy Benoit Leger on the occasion of her 100th 
birthday. Born in 1907, Ms. Leger is the mother of two children. Her 
husband, Elliott, worked tirelessly as a barber so that she could 
remain at home to raise their son and daughter.
  In 100 years many things have changed in southwest Louisiana. One 
constant is the value and joy we find in our families. I am pleased 
that Lucy's family and friends will gather June 16 to celebrate this 
joyous occasion.
  I offer my best wishes for continued good health to Lucy Benoit 
Leger.
