groundbreakings, awards, inductions, ribbon cuttings and even tragedies 
in the City of Clinton. She is also the editor of the Bolton Newspaper 
in my hometown of Bolton, MS. Susalyn has taken photos and written 
articles of things that have defined us in our small town, as well as 
moments we will cherish forever.
  Susalyn has been named to the E&P Class of 2022 ``Shooting Stars.'' 
She was selected as one of only twelve photojournalists in the nation 
to be featured in the June 2022 issue of Editor & Publisher Magazine, a 
trade magazine for the newspaper, advertising, public relations, 
communication, journalism, and printing industries that traces its 
roots back to 1884.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Susalyn 
Bennett for her passion and dedication in the field of journalism.
