             HONORING STEFANI BOOROOJIAN ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. COSTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Stefani Booroojian, a 
pioneer in local journalism and one of the icons of journalism in the 
San Joaquin Valley.
  After 42 years at KSEE24, the Fresno NBC affiliate, Stefani is sadly, 
for me, retiring from the news desk.
  After graduating from Fresno State in 1981, and a loyal Bulldog, 
Stefani started in radio before landing her first job as a reporter. 
She worked on every newscast reporting stories on medical missions to 
Armenia, and women battling cancer as a part of the BuddyCheck24 
project, in addition to many other stories, including the continued 
coverage of the COVID crisis. She never, ever shirked her 
responsibilities.
  I have had the honor to know Stefani and her husband, Marc. She 
brings a wealth of knowledge and a real sense of compassion to 
journalism that resonates with my constituents and the people of our 
Valley. She, in a word, conveys trust.
  Her legacy in so many different ways will continue to inspire the 
next generation of journalists. Stefani is a proud granddaughter of the 
Armenian diaspora, and she has always put the people of our Valley 
first.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Stefani for all her years of service to our 
Valley and keep up the good work.
