  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 86th 
birthday of a fellow patriot and founder of the Wickenburg Republican 
Club, Mrs. Frosty Taylor.
  Born in 1937, Frosty grew up on her grandfather's cattle ranch in 
Montrose, South Dakota. After graduating from Iowa's Atlantic High 
School in 1955, Frosty married her high school sweetheart and started a 
family, which has now grown to include 2 children, 2 grandchildren, and 
3 wonderful great-grandchildren.
  Shortly after winning the Mrs. Nebraska pageant in 1964, Frosty 
embarked on a career in the media. From 1967 through 1983, Frosty rose 
through the ranks at Paradise Valley News, starting as a columnist and 
quickly advancing to the position of editor. She was the first female 
reporter to ride in a Phoenix Police helicopter and was named honorary 
Phoenix Fire Department firefighter in Station 32.
  In the years following, Frosty continued in communications as editor 
and publisher at Paradise Valley Voice from 1983 through 1989. After 
great success in the media industry, Frosty worked in the Arizona 
Attorney General's office for both Robert Corbin and the late Grant 
Woods. Frosty's next professional adventure was a 10-year stint as an 
officer with the Arizona Game and Fish Department Heritage Fund.
  However, Mrs. Frosty Taylor's dedication to her community has not 
concluded. At a vibrant 86 years old, she currently serves as President 
of the Wickenburg Republican Club and is one of her district's precinct 
committeewomen and state committeeman, while covering news throughout 
Arizona as editor of the Republican Briefs. The Wickenburg community 
should be proud to have such a compassionate leader. Frosty has spent 
many years serving Arizona, and she is just getting started.
  I congratulate Mrs. Frosty Taylor on celebrating 86 years and thank 
her for her continued work in our great state of Arizona.
