  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to wish my dear 
friend Lottie Albert a very happy 98th birthday. Lottie was

born on December 25, 1915 to Eva and Louis Wernick in New York, New 
York. In 1936, she married Sol Albert and shared 55 wonderful years of 
marriage with him. They had two daughters, Harriet and Doreen. Now, 
Lottie is a grandmother of Eric, Glenn, and Lowell, as well as a great-
grandmother of Kyle, Samantha, Heather, and Seth.
  Lottie has been a resident of Broward County for 40 years and lived 
in the City of Sunrise for the past 12 years. She is an amazing 
individual who has selflessly dedicated herself to helping so many 
throughout South Florida, and for that I am truly grateful.
  Her work with the Ann Storck Children's Center, The Elderly Interest 
Fund's MEDIVAN Program, and the Alzheimer's Family Center was honored 
on March 25, 2012 with her induction into the Broward County Women's 
Hall of Fame. Additionally, in 1988, she was inducted into the Area 
Agency on Aging's Dr. Nan S. Hutchison Broward Senior Hall of Fame. 
Furthermore, in 2005 Broward County named November 12th as ``Lottie 
Albert Appreciation Day.''
  Mr. Speaker, Lottie exemplifies the ideals of civic engagement. Her 
compassion and tireless devotion to her community are a shining example 
for us all. She has been a wonderful friend to me for so many years, 
and it is my distinct honor to wish her a happy birthday.
