PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A Portland woman is celebrating a
special day. Next week, Dr. Edythe Leupp (above) will turn 100
years old.

She’s lived in the Rose City for nearly 50 years. She was the
principal at Duniway Elementary School before moving to
Geroge Fox University in Newberg.

Leupp says turning 100 is bitter-sweet. Her husband passed
away 30 years ago. Despite her loss, it brings her great joy to
see her family grow.

During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress passed
a resolution stating that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for
service as landing forces for the recently formed Continental Navy.

The resolution, drafted by future U.S. president John Adams and
adopted in Philadelphia, created the Continental Marines and is
now observed as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.
