                        Thursday, July 12, 2007

  Mr. LINCOLN DAVIS of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, today I am proud to 
congratulate Pauline Sherrer of Crossville, Tennessee, on her 
succession as President of the Tennessee Press Association. Pauline 
will join a long line of talented and dedicated journalism 
professionals in taking the helm of the TPA.
  Pauline's family has long been an integral part of the Tennessee 
media. In 1981, the Sherrer family purchased the Crossville Chronicle, 
the hometown paper of Cumberland County. Pauline maintained her role as 
publisher of the Chronicle through two sales of the paper, providing 
the people of Cumberland County with fair and accurate reporting on the 
issues that affect them most. Loved by the Chronicle staff and lauded 
by her peers, Sherrer's leadership has set a standard for meeting the 
needs of readers.
  With over 36 years of experience with the press and now as the first 
woman to hold a position on all three of Tennessee's press association 
boards, Pauline is a model for young women and anyone interested in a 
career in journalism. A mother and a grandmother, business leader and 
volunteer, Pauline serves her work, family and community with her 
strong voice and will.
  It is my privilege to congratulate and honor Pauline Sherrer for her 
work, service and commitment, and to welcome her as the new President 
of our State's Press Association.
