  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Debby Clark 
of Frisco, Texas, and present her with the Congressional Patriot Award. 
Debby has faithfully dedicated herself to serving our community.
  Debby was born in Central City, Iowa where she started playing the 
organ for local churches while in junior high. As a pipe organ major, 
she graduated from Cornell College in 1973 with a Bachelor of Music 
Education. It is on the campus of her alma mater that she met her 
husband, Bob, and they later married. Debby taught grades K-8 in 
Schaumburg, Illinois for five years. She has taught piano privately for 
over thirty years, which allowed her to raise two beautiful daughters. 
Emily and Abigail, and works with her family insurance business.
  Debby has been actively involved in her community as evidenced by her 
work with both the Plano and Frisco Chambers of Commerce and was 
recognized by Frisco as Ambassador of the year. She is a graduate of 
Plano Leadership Class 17, served on the city of Frisco CPAC committee, 
Frisco Area Republican Women's group, and volunteered with the National 
Charity League and Rainbow girls for many years. She has spent 35 years 
as a church organist, partnering with her husband whenever possible. 
She is a dedicated mother and grandmother, and her nurturing spirit is 
felt within the community by everyone who meets her.
  I am proud to recognize my friend, Debby, today and am confident she 
will continue to make a positive impact in our community for many years 
to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Debby with the Patriot Award for her 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
