                                 ______
                                 

                   TRIBUTE TO LARRY ``SKIP'' AHLGREN

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Larry ``Skip'' Ahlgren of Petroleum County for his 
dedication to his community and volunteer efforts.
  Skip currently serves as president of the Montana Association of 
State Grazing Districts and previously served as county commissioner. 
These titles are only the beginning of his service to Petroleum County. 
Skip and his wife Diane spend hundreds of hours volunteering in various 
community groups and focus putting their time into Montana's youth.
  Winnett Agriculture Community Enhancement and Sustainability, ACES, 
is a group cofounded by Skip that brings Petroleum County producers 
together to address the problems facing the environment and their 
community. The group also works with Montana's youth to create 
opportunities that will bring them back to the community where they 
were raised. As farmers and ranchers play a key role in one of the most 
rural counties in Montana, Skip saw an opportunity to serve them and 
created this incredible organization.
  Skip is described by friends and colleagues as an all-around good 
guy, a man who embodies Montana values, and a true friend. It is my 
honor to recognize Larry ``Skip'' Ahlgren for his service and 
dedication to Petroleum County.
