                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 2009

  Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
100th birthday of Mrs. Sally Matthews, which will take place on May 30, 
2009. Sally, a lifelong resident of Jersey City, New Jersey, is the 
proud mother of two sons and six grandchildren. Throughout her life, 
Sally has been an outstanding public servant and professional. She 
worked for the New Jersey State Board of Children's Guardians from 1925 
to 1942. Sally was subsequently employed as a legal secretary, 
receiving the distinction of being the Hudson County Legal Secretaries 
Association's Legal Secretary of the Year in 1970. Sally has always 
taken the time to give back to her community, having volunteered at St. 
Aedan's Rectory in Jersey City and having been a charter member of St. 
Aedan's Golden Club, 41 years ago. As Sally and her friends gather on 
June 1st to celebrate her 100th birthday, I wish her, on behalf of 
myself and the people of the 9th Congressional District of New Jersey, 
the very best as she reaches this exciting milestone in her life.
