To congratulate Mary Long Anderson on the momentous occasion

Long. She was reared alongside her siblings Nelson Larry Long and James Leroy 
Long; and 

Whereas, she attended 
Southside High School, where she was active in basketball, track and field, and 
baseball. She then went on to attend Fort Valley State University, in Fort 
Valley, Georgia, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education 
with a minor in health; and

Whereas, upon her 
college graduation, she started teaching physical education in Perry, Georgia 
and then later taught in Goldsboro, North Carolina. In 1970, she started as a recreation

Choir, as well as being a member of the Missionary Circle number 4, and the women's
