                       TRIBUTE TO STEPHEN ROBERTS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Stephen Roberts of Des Moines, Iowa, for being named one 
of dsm Magazine's 2017 ``Sages Over 70.''
  The ``Sages Over 70'' award honors community leaders who continue to 
serve as mentors and leaders when others have retired. Stephen, a 
senior shareholder in the Davis Brown law firm, was an early advocate 
for women at the firm which lead to the quick hiring of its first five 
female attorneys. Stephen is well-known for his past service as 
chairman and national committee member for the Republican Party of 
Iowa, and has also been active with the American Cancer Society for 
over 40 years. One of the many words of advice he gave to the magazine 
included to ``give something back to the community. You'll get more out 
of it than what you put in.''
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Stephen for being named a ``Sage 
Over 70'' by dsm Magazine, and applaud him for his service to his 
community. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating Stephen for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing him nothing but the best.
