                        RECOGNIZING STEVE REEDER

  (Mr. BAIRD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Steve Reeder, a dedicated 
local historian and the chair of the social studies department at 
Monrovia High School.
  He has taught at Monrovia High School for over 25 years. Steve spent 
nearly 2 years researching and writing ``Our Town,'' a book that 
chronicles the history of Monrovia and the surrounding areas in Morgan 
County. He first undertook the project to help his students with pride 
and to have pride in their community. ``Our Town'' was published 
earlier this year.
  Steve and his students have also helped with the installation of 
several local history markers in the community. In addition to getting 
published, Steve was honored by WISH TV with their Golden Apple Award, 
which recognizes exceptional teachers in central Indiana.
  I thank Steve for his decades of educating children and for 
supporting Morgan County communities.
