  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, the Galveston Island Railroad Museum and 
Terminal is one of Texas's most outstanding historic places, 
recognizing the importance of the railroads in building our great 
state. Galveston's success as a major American port was built on 
railroads, and the Museum celebrates that heritage.
  In May the Museum gave its distinguished Gold Lantern Award to Mrs. 
Kris Anne Vogelpohl of Galveston. Mrs. Vogelpohl personifies the 
mission of the Museum--to build a better community, illuminate the 
lives of Galvestonians, and teach thousands of visitors about its 
heritage.
  Mrs. Vogelpohl is legendary in the gift of her time and energy to 
many local and national humanitarian organizations, including the 
Salvation Army and Prevent Blindness Texas.
  Galveston has grown in greatness in recent years, and we have Mrs. 
Kris Anne Vogelpohl to thank for her tireless efforts toward making it 
a very special place.
