  Mr. FASO. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound respect that I rise today 
to recognize and celebrate Dede Terns-Thorpe of Haines Falls for being 
named Greene County's 2018 Senior Citizen of the Year. This is a 
designation reserved for the outstanding individual in Greene County 
who has continuously and selflessly gone above and beyond to make a 
positive impact on the community.
  From her time working as a nurse and for the U.S. postal service, to 
her volunteerism delivering meals to her neighbors and gardening, Dede 
has been dedicated to the Greene County community and has shown 
compassion and care in all that she does. As the town historian of 
Hunter, Dede has made great contributions to the history of the area, 
unearthing the wonders, stories, and heroes of Greene County's past.
  I am grateful for Dede's many years of dedicated service to Greene 
County, to the 19th District, and to New York State. I wish her the 
best as she continues to preserve the region's history and I am 
thankful for her many contributions to the community.
