                       Tuesday, September 4, 2018

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognise and 
congratulate Joyce and Bob Cooper, of Creston, Iowa for being selected 
as Union County's 2018 inductee info the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.
  Both Joyce and Bob are community minded, recognizing the needs in 
their county and making time to address the challenges. Both 4-H 
members themselves, they gave their time as adults to leading clubs in 
Union County. Bob was a co-leader for the Grant Toppers 4-H club, 
taking the boys on camping and fishing trips many times. Joyce was a 
co-leader for the Jolly Jills 4-H club and taught many young ladies how 
to sew, cook, can, and garden. Their five children also showed dairy 
cattle and horses. Bob and Joyce served on the Union County Fair Board 
for 14 years and served on the dairy committee for 25 years.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Joyce and Bob demonstrates the 
rewards of harnessing one's talents and sharing them with the world. 
Their efforts embody the Iowa spirit and I am honored to represent 
them, and Iowans like them, in the United States Congress. I know all 
of my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives will 
join me in congratulating Joyce and Bob Cooper for their award and wish 
them nothing but continued success.
