                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 19, 2012

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to wish Ms. Charlotte 
Landreth-Melville, a resident of historic Bristol Borough in my home of 
Bucks County, Pennsylvania a Happy Birthday as she turns 90 on June 
25th.
  During her 90 years, Charlotte has seen sixteen U.S. presidents take 
the oath of office, has honorably served her country in World War II as 
a member of the Women Marines, has traveled the world, and has started 
her own small business. Charlotte has enjoyed quite a healthy, exciting 
life.
  Over the course of her life, she has climbed to the peak of Mount 
Kilimanjaro, trekked through the Sahara Desert, lived on a houseboat in 
India and bicycled all across Europe. One way or another, she still 
managed to find time to remain active in her local community as a 
contributor to the Bristol Pilot Newspaper.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to speak on Charlotte's behalf today, and I 
wish her the very best on this momentous occasion. Charlotte's free 
spirit and dedication to her country and community make her a perfect 
role model in today's society. I wish her many more years of good 
health, success and happiness.
