                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. MICHAUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Marie Boucher and to celebrate her 101st birthday.
  Marie moved to Greenville, Maine with her husband Auguste Boucher in 
1951, and she has been the oldest citizen of Greenville since 2006. She 
is a proud mother and grandmother with eight children, twenty-eight 
grandchildren, fifty-one great-grandchildren and nine great-great-
grandchildren.
  Marie is well known throughout Greenville for her gracious 
hospitality and prowess in the kitchen. She not only cooked for her 
large family, but also made sure the woodsmen who worked with her 
husband were well fed after their long days in the Maine woods. For 
several years, she took her cooking skills to the kitchen at the Log 
Cabin Restaurant, and Marie has remained active in her community 
throughout her life as a long time parishioner of Holy Family Church.
  As an exemplary member of the Greenville community, Marie is an asset 
not only for her town but also her state, and she celebrates her 
birthday surrounded by family and friends.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Marie Boucher for her 
contributions and in celebrating her birthday.

                          ____________________
