  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate a fellow 
Hoosier who is celebrating her 97th birthday, Mrs. Nellie Esther 
Hunter. Mrs. Hunter is a truly remarkable woman who embodies Hoosier 
values to the fullest. A native of Argos, Indiana she attended the one-
room Santa Ana School House. Like many Hoosiers, she worked on her 
family's farm where she learned a strong work ethic, something she has 
utilized throughout her life. She has been blessed with three children, 
four grandchildren and one great grandchild. At the age of 81, she 
earned her General Education Development degree and was awarded ``Adult 
Student of the Year'' by the State of Indiana. A woman deeply committed 
to the community around her, she continued to serve others by working 
as a tutor at a local private school until last year and volunteered at 
the local food pantry.
  I want to sincerely thank Mrs. Hunter for her service and recognize 
her unwavering commitment to her community. It is my honor to offer my 
congratulations to Mrs. Hunter on this special occasion. I wish her a 
very happy birthday and many more years of continued health and 
happiness.
