                         Tuesday, July 3, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lois Figgins of Atlantic, Iowa who recently retired after 
50 years of service within the banking industry. Lois began her banking 
career in 1964. She started working at First Whitney Bank and completed 
her career at TS Bank in Atlantic. She had a hiatus from work at the 
bank when she lived overseas when her husband was serving in the 
military.
  Lois said she has seen many changes at the bank over the years. When 
she started working, everything was done on paper; there were no 
computers. Lois has worked in many different aspects of the banking 
industry, including bookkeeper, teller, assistant cashier, secretary of 
the installment loan department and most recently as the Credit 
Administrative Assistant for TS Bank in Atlantic. Lois said her 
favorite part of her job was waiting on the customers and greeting them 
as they came in the door. She said she is, ``grateful for the time she 
has spent in the banking industry, especially the last few years at TS 
Bank.'' Lois is active at Zion Lutheran Church, Relay for Life and a 
sewing group called, ``The Knotty Ladies.''
  Mr. Speaker, Lois Figgins has made a difference by helping and 
serving others. It is with great honor that I recognize her today. I 
know that my colleagues in the House of Representatives join me in 
applauding her accomplishments. I thank her for her service to TS Bank 
and Southwest Iowa, and wish her continued success in the future.
