WISHING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARION STOUT ON HER 111TH BIRTHDAY
January 31, 2007
U.S. House of Representatives
Mr. Speaker, I want to wish a happy birthday today to my
constituent, Marion Stout. She is 111 today and is now the
oldest person in Tennessee.
She never misses a church service at Second Presbyterian Church
in Knoxville. She walks two or three times a week with her
caregiver, who says she walks until she gets tired, but she
never gets tired. For her walks, she always wears a pretty
dress, heels and rouge to highlight her blue eyes.
No matter what small thing someone does for her, she always says
thank you. She says, I eat right, take care of myself and stay
positive.
She bought some GE stock when she was 102 because she wanted a
good, long-term investment.
I know the entire House wants to join me in wishing Marion Stout
a happy 111th birthday today.
