                  IN RECOGNITION OF DON AND LOIS MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Don and Lois Moore, 
proprietors of the Quartzsite General Store. Mr. and Mrs. Moore opened 
the Quartzsite General Store in Quartzsite, Arizona on December 12, 
1972. This December 12 will mark the 41st anniversary of its opening. 
The store's western-themed storefront has been a mainstay of 
Quartzsite's Main Street for those 41 years, adding to the town's 
character and economy. Known for its fresh meats and produce, 
cleanliness, and great customer service, the General Store has 
consistently contributed to the community of Quartzsite.
  The store could not have been successful without Don's and Lois's 
hard work and dedication. Don retired from the store in 1999 and Lois 
retired from school teaching in 1995, but they both work at the store 
again today. Their determination to achieve their American dream is a 
shining example not only to their 6 children and 15 grandchildren, but 
to all current and future entrepreneurs. Small businesses like theirs 
are the backbone of our economy, and it is those businesses that will 
lead us out of our current economic problems.
  Congratulations to the Quartzsite General Store and to its owners, 
Don and Lois, on 41 years of success. May they have continued success 
for many years to come.
