                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Linda Wheeler of Lenox, Iowa for being selected as Taylor 
County's 2015 inductee into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.
  Linda was a member of the Platte Peppy Pals 4-H group for 10 years 
while growing up. Her mother and father were both 4-H leaders in her 
county. She participated in 4-H camp and focused on home improvement 
projects like refinishing furniture for fair projects. Linda became a 
leader herself in 2002, and has since spent numerous hours working with 
members and her own children on 4-H projects as part of the Washington 
Winners.
  Mr. Speaker, Linda's efforts are a true representation of the Iowa 
spirit and I am honored to represent her and Iowans like her in the 
United States Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives will join me in congratulating Linda 
for her achievements and wish her nothing but continued success.
