                        Thursday, June 26, 2008

  Mr. MURTHA. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the accomplishments of Mrs. Nancy Sutton, as she celebrates 
her 93rd birthday on June 29. Mrs. Sutton is a selfless volunteer who 
constantly puts others ahead of herself. She is a valuable asset to 
Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
  Madam Speaker, Mrs. Sutton worked hard during her long and varied 
career, which included working in retail in Uniontown. Following her 
retirement, she began to volunteer at her local Social Security Office 
during the 1980s and 1990s for a period of over 10 years. She still 
actively volunteers for the American Cancer Society, where she has 
volunteered for many years. In addition, Mrs. Sutton has been an active 
member of the Marshall Manor Resident Council since she became a 
resident in February 1973. She has served as president of the council 
and has coordinated and cooked monthly dinners for the manor's 
residents. Mrs. Sutton helps her fellow residents by driving them to 
medical appointments, picking up prescriptions, and helping with 
grocery shopping.
  Mrs. Sutton was appointed as the tenant representative to the Fayette 
County Housing Authority's Board of Directors on February 8, 2001. She 
has served as the secretary of the board since her appointment.
  Madam Speaker, Mrs. Nancy Sutton is truly a great and caring 
American. I wish to end my remarks by congratulating her on her 93rd 
birthday and for all of her community accomplishments.
