                       TRIBUTE TO MARILYN MADDOX

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Marilyn Maddox of Lewis and Clark County. This week marks 
Marilyn's 100th birthday. She is being honored this week at the Montana 
State capitol, not only for her birthday, but also for 80 years of 
service with the Montana Federation of Republican Women.
  Marilyn was born in Chicago on January 31, 1919, and grew up in Ohio. 
She attended Ohio State University where she performed as a 
professional dancer and concert violinist. She joined the National 
Federation of Republican Women in 1939 and still has her original 
membership card.
  While in Ohio, she married Thomas Maddox to whom she would be married 
for 71 years. Tom, was a journalist with the Associated Press, and they 
lived in several Midwestern cities before Tom received a transfer out 
West to Helena, MT. They packed up their 1951 Plymouth station wagon 
with two young daughters and two dogs and headed for Montana. Like many 
folks who find themselves in Montana, the Maddoxes fell in love with 
Big Sky Country.
  Marilyn is an avid outdoors woman and loves hunting and fishing. She 
also worked for the Montana Stockgrowers Association for many years. 
Marilyn has 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 6 
great-great-grandchildren, and a Shihtzu named Toby Wong.
  I congratulate Marilyn on reaching this milestone and thank her for 
her many years of service to the people of Montana and the Helena 
community.
