            RECOGNIZING DEAN'S BEANS ORGANIC COFFEE COMPANY

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible 
local business in Orange, Massachusetts, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee 
Company, as it embarks on an exciting change.
  Its founder, Dean Cycon, is retiring after 30 years of leading this 
people-focused business and turning the reins over to his employees. 
That is right. To end a successful career in the coffee business, Dean 
is giving control of the company to his employees who will share in its 
management, operations, and, of course, its profits.
  Dean's Beans already has a storied legacy, partnering closely with 
their farmers, sourcing organic coffee, and paying a living wage. 
Workers receive health insurance that covers premiums, copays, and 
deductibles.
  To many of us who know Dean, we are not surprised. He has led a 
career proving that you can make money, do good, and treat people with 
kindness, all while making a mean dark roast.
  That is why I toast my good friend, Dean Cycon, and the entire team 
at Dean's Beans.
  Here is to new stories and adventures and great cups of coffee along 
the way.
