      WISHING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARION STOUT ON HER 111TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, I want to wish a happy birthday today to my 
constituent, Marion Stout. She is 111 today and is now the oldest 
person in Tennessee.
  She never misses a church service at Second Presbyterian Church in 
Knoxville. She walks two or three times a week with her caregiver, who 
says she walks until she gets tired, but she never gets tired. For her 
walks, she always wears a pretty dress, heels and rouge to highlight 
her blue eyes.
  No matter what small thing someone does for her, she always says 
thank you. She says, I eat right, take care of myself and stay 
positive.
  She bought some GE stock when she was 102 because she wanted a good, 
long-term investment.
  I know the entire House wants to join me in wishing Marion Stout a 
happy 111th birthday today.
