               125TH ANNIVERSARY OF ALPENA, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Alpena, SD. The 
town of Alpena commemorated its 125th anniversary of its founding with 
celebrations June 20-22, 2008.
  Located in Jerauld County, Alpena was founded in 1883 and was named 
after the hometown of founder and railroad superintendent C.H. Prior. 
Since its beginning 125 years ago, the community of Alpena has 
continued to serve as a strong example of South Dakota values and 
traditions.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Alpena on 
this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
