Tribute to Kathryn Fox




Washington, D.C. - Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of my constituents, Kathryn Fox, who recently celebrated her 102nd birthday.
 
Mrs. Fox was born on July 16, 1903 in the small town of Middleport, Ohio.  After attending the University of Ohio, she married Richard K. Fox, Sr.  The two lived in St. Louis for over three decades, as Mr. Fox enjoyed a long career teaching high school mathematics.
 
Among Mrs. Fox’s favorite pastimes is travel.  She and her husband made several trips to Europe and traveled extensively in the American West.  Mrs. Fox has continued to visit the Tucson home of her son, Ambassador Richard Fox, Jr., in recent years.
 
In her active retirement, Mrs. Fox enjoys needlepoint and attends church each Sunday.
 
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mrs. Fox on her birthday and wish her the best of health and much continued happiness in the future.
