             RECOGNIZING LYNNE AND MYRON MALNAA OF GLASGOW

                                 ______

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 14, 2019

  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Lynne and Myron 
Malnaa of Glasgow for their dedication to and compassion for Montana's 
children.
   After her eldest daughter graduated from high school and with their 
son and Myron rodeoing, Lynne felt like she had an empty nest, and she 
says she found her quiet house unsettling.
   One day Lynne, who ran a daycare out of their home for 25 years, got 
a call that changed her life. She was told there were a few desperate 
kids who needed a home right away. Lynne instantly stepped up and took 
them in. It happened so quickly, Myron, a law enforcement officer for 
25 years, says he doesn't even remember Lynne talking to him about 
taking on such a big responsibility. Lynne says she did.
   Since that day 18 years ago, the Malnaas continue to provide a safe 
haven for many kids in need. They have welcomed more than 150 foster 
children into their home, embracing them with the unconditional love 
they need.
   Lynne and Myron nurture and care for the kids, who come to them from 
various backgrounds. They watch them grow and give the opportunity to 
let the kids be kids.
   Lynne and Myron have also adopted two children and are guardians to 
another.
   For their commitment to Montana's children, Lynne and Myron were 
recognized recently as 2019 Angels in Adoption honorees.
   Madam Speaker, for freely giving over 150 foster children 
unconditional love and a home, I recognize Lynne and Myron Malnaa for 
their Spirit of Montana.
