                            HOGAN'S HARDWARE

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise to recognize Hogan's 
Hardware of Kadoka, SD. Hogan's Hardware has enjoyed a long and rich 
history in my home State.
  In April of 1946, Marvis and Florence Hogan opened Hogan's Hardware 
for business in Kadoka. Now some 60 years later Florence, her son 
Baxter, daughter Randi, and her son-in-law Don are keeping the business 
going strong. Small businesses are the back bone of the great State of 
South Dakota, and I commend the Hogan's for their contributions to 
their community and the State.
  It gives me great pleasure to rise with the town of Kadoka in 
congratulating Hogan's Hardware and the Hogan family for their 60 years 
of service.
