long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
congratulate  Olga  B.  Stewart  upon the occasion of her 100th Birthday
which was celebrated with a party  held  in  her  honor  at  St.  Luke's
Nursing  Center,  Oswego,  New  York; during the festivities, family and
friends ate cupcakes and Olga was given a tiara and sash which she  wore

  WHEREAS, On September 3, 1942,  Olga  married  Jay  Stewart  in  New

  WHEREAS,  With  her  zest for life, this exceptional centenarian has
inspired and enhanced the lives of her family and friends; she has truly
enriched the lives of those around her through her  joyous  and  sincere
love  for  others and through the quiescent charm and wisdom which comes
only from a fullness of years; and

  WHEREAS, It is the intent  of  this  Legislative  Body  to  publicly
recognize  those  who  have  reached  such a remarkable age and who have
