                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO ANNE STORDAHL

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Anne Stordahl of Pondera County for her commitment to 
supporting Montana small businesses.
  Anne has been a small business owner in Conrad, Montana for 15 years. 
When the local candy shop closed in her community, Anne decided to help 
boost community morale by taking on a new project and business. She 
opened the 2B Sweet Candy shop right next to her hair salon, giving her 
customers a chance to grab some candy while waiting for their next 
haircut.
  Anne enlisted the help of her three children to open a new candy 
store that could bring some joy back to their community, especially in 
a time of uncertainty when many small businesses were closing their 
doors. Her son handled the behind the scenes work of taking inventory 
and balancing the books while her daughters handled a variety of tasks 
like designing candy bouquets and serving customers.
  Anne grew up on a farm and was able to use this experience to teach 
her children what a strong Montana work ethic looks like and the 
importance of family operations to our communities. At the beginning, 
she hoped the store would bring her family closer, and looking back, 
she would say this was a sweet success.
  It is my honor to recognize Anne and her children for taking the 
initiative to successfully launch the 2B Sweet Candy Shop. It is now a 
proud part of the Conrad community.
