  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege today to 
recognize the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of 
Pine Castle, Florida.
  Pine Castle's rich history begins in the years immediately following 
the Civil War. Originally, Pine Castle was a private residence erected 
by Will Harney, a poet and settler from Kentucky. He built his home 
from the abundant pines of Central Florida and dubbed it his ``pine 
castle.'' Soon, the areas of modern-day Edgewood, Belle Isle and the 
Conway chain of lakes came to be known as ``Pine Castle.'' In 1915, the 
Town of Pine Castle was formally incorporated.
  I join the residents of Pine Castle in celebrating this historical 
milestone. It is truly an honor to serve the residents of Pine Castle 
in the U.S. House of Representatives.
