               RECOGNIZING THE 100TH BIRTHDAY OF ED EWING

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
birthday of a great World War II veteran, Ed Ewing from Redding, 
California.
  Ed is a U.S. Army veteran, who once dreamed of being a doctor but 
then found his way to be a longtime owner and operator of Economy 4 
Cycle Marine.
  Ed began his business in Redding in 1960. He tried to retire in 1985 
and did so for 6 years, but he reopened his doors again and worked 
until just a few years ago, finally retiring at 98 years old.
  Ed knows Bearcat outboard motors inside and out, and he had people 
seeking out his expertise from all over the country.
  At his birthday party this past weekend, I am told that Ed still 
appeared to be running on all cylinders.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Ed a happy birthday and I wish him and his family 
a wonderful year ahead.
