                         Tuesday, July 16, 2013

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 25th 
Anniversary of TLC Properties.
  TLC Properties was founded 25 years ago by Sam and Carol Coryell. The 
Coryells were college music teachers who had a desire to establish a 
real-estate business to supplement their income and retirement and to 
fulfill a dream of owning their own business. Over the last 25 years, 
Sam and Carol have grown their business from just a handful of units to 
approximately 3,000 units in the Springfield area.
  In 1999, Sam and Carol welcomed their three sons Sam M., Daniel, and 
David to the family business. The elder Coryells were sure to pass on 
to their sons the two leading values of TLC Properties: strong 
character and service. These two values, coupled with the 
entrepreneurial spirit, compassionate care, and friendly service, 
promise that TLC Properties will continue to grow, succeed, and serve 
the Springfield area for years to come.
  However, the business success of TLC Properties over the last 25 
years does not outshine their contributions to the community; they have 
donated time and money to various worthy causes. Over the years, TLC 
Properties has been honored with many prestigious awards including the 
W. Curtis Strube Small Business of the Year Award in 2009 and the 
Springfield News-Leader Best Property Management Company Award for the 
years 2009-2012.
  I am honored to recognize TLC Properties, Sam, Carol, their sons, and 
their outstanding staff for the service they have given to the 
Springfield area for the past 25 years.
