  Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a great American from my 
home state of Wyoming, Thyra Thomson.
  The quintessential Wyoming Secretary of State, Thyra Thomson served 
for 24 years as Wyoming's second highest elected official and advocate-
in-chief for all things Wyoming.
  Thyra tirelessly engaged and mentored Wyoming people to be caring 
thought leaders for Wyoming's unique communities and culture.
  Thyra was impeccably put together, inquisitive, well-traveled and 
well-read, and quick to initiate fascinating conversation.
  Her encouragement and support of me and countless others around the 
state helped to build the unique Wyoming culture and its tapestry of 
compelling individuals.
  Thyra survives through her family, her role in Wyoming history and 
her inspiration to her many friends of all ages.
