                 IN HONOR OF RICHARD ``DICK'' HAMILTON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 14, 2021

  Ms. KUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard ``Dick'' 
Hamilton for his selfless work to honor the memory of our cherished 
state symbol, the Old Man of the Mountain. His granite resolve has led 
to this beautiful plaza where you stand today.
  Daniel Webster wrote, ``Men hang out their signs indicative of their 
respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe, jewelers a 
monster watch, and dentists hang out a gold tooth. Now, up in New 
Hampshire, God almighty has hung out a sign to show that here he makes 
men.'' Dick Hamilton is one of those men.
  As we remember May 2, 2003, the day the Old Man gave up his perch on 
the side of Cannon Mountain, we also salute Dick and countless others 
who carry on the memory of the Old Man and what he means to the people 
of the Granite State. I take this time to honor Dick and keep the 
memory of the Old Man alive
