                    REMEMBERING KITTIE MOORE WILSON

 Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, it is with great sadness that I 
recognize the passing of Kittie Moore Wilson, of New London, NH.
  Today, I wish to celebrate the life of Kittie and her service to New 
Hampshire.
  While Kittie was born in Bangor, ME, she spent a majority of her life 
as a Granite Stater. She attended Epsom High School and then went to 
Plymouth State University, as well as the University of Connecticut. 
After graduating, Kittie taught third grade for 15 years at Kearsarge 
Regional School District before going on to oversee and teach the 
Mindstretch Program throughout the entire district for the next 16 
years.
  Known affectionately as the Loon Lady, Kittie had a deep love of the 
environment and was dedicated to protecting loons and conserving 
Pleasant Lake in New Hampshire. For her work and her passion, she 
received the Loon Preservation Committee's Spirit of the Loon Award and 
the EPA's Meritorious Lifetime Achievement Award.
  During my time as Governor of New Hampshire, I had the pleasure of 
working with Kittie and the Loon Preservation Committee on SB 89, 
legislation that helped to protect our loon population from deadly lead 
poisoning and to preserve an important part of our State's natural 
beauty that helps drive our economy.
  Kittie is survived by her husband of 29 years, John, her brother 
Michael Moore and his family, her sister Karen Johnson and her family, 
her stepson Jeb Wilson, and her Scottish Terriers Aberfeldy and 
Macallan.
  I join with Kittie's friends and family, and many people across the 
Granite State in remembering and honoring her legacy.
