                       RECOGNIZING DENISE STICHA

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Denise Sticha for 30 years of dedicated service to communities across 
Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District and beyond.
  Denise recently retired as the executive director of Centre County 
Library and Historical Museum, a position she has held for more than 7 
years.
  In this position, Denise oversaw library services for 29 
municipalities. This included the main library in Bellefonte, branch 
libraries in Centre Hall and Phillipsburg, a world-class research 
library, and a local historical museum in Bellefonte.
  In 1981, Denise began her career at the Murrysville Library. 
Following her position at the Murrysville Library, Denise worked at 
various institutions, including Seton Hill University in Greensburg, 
Pennsylvania, Westmoreland County Federated Library System, Carnegie 
Library of Pittsburgh, and Berks County Public Libraries.
  Mr. Speaker, Denise has provided exceptional literary services to 
communities across the State, being an outstanding leader and mentor to 
many.
  I wish Denise the best and thank her for her many years of service.
