                      Wednesday, January 15, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to honor Mr. James Richardson on the occasion of his 110th 
birthday.
  Mr. Richardson was born January 2, 1904, in Eufaula, Alabama. He is 
the oldest of 11 siblings. Mr. Richardson spent his early years behind 
a plow on his father's farm. As he got older, he learned to drive a 
tractor to plow the fields.
  Mr. Richardson has two sons. He currently lives at Parkwood Health 
Care Facility in Phenix City, where he remains happy and healthy. He 
takes no medications, and he even has a daily exercise regimen. He 
states attitude is everything, and he tells everyone around him to 
treat everybody right.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating Mr. James Richardson's 
110th birthday. 110 years of life is something we all can aspire to, 
and I am so honored to have Mr. Richardson residing in Alabama's Third 
Congressional District.
