                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 17, 2018

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Garry Moore, who 
is retiring from 25 News Today. Mr. Moore is a pillar of the Peoria 
community and will be greatly missed.
  Mr. Moore has greatly enriched cultural arts within Peoria through 
his years of leadership. Mr. Moore first moved to Peoria to attend 
Bradley University where he earned a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in 
Liberal Studies and Broadcast Production and Management. Since then, he 
has become an anchor and producer for 25 News Today, which is Central 
Illinois' longest running morning news program, in addition to serving 
as President of the Peoria Local of the American Federation of 
Television and Radio Artists. Furthermore, he has worked to educate our 
community through his role as an adjunct professor at Illinois State 
University and by holding drumming classes throughout the area. Mr. 
Moore has also developed and championed several youth empowerment 
programs throughout Rockford.
  It is because of dedicated leaders such as Mr. Garry Moore that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois 17th Congressional District. Mr. 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Mr. Garry Moore on 
his well-earned retirement and thank him for all of his contributions 
and service to our community.
