  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Irma Wyhs for 
her service to our community.
  For half a century, as a writer, historian and citizen advocate Irma 
Wyhs has been showing how deeply she cares about her community. She is 
admired for her adeptness at advising, encouraging, cajoling, and 
publicizing community leaders and their organizations. Clear Creek 
Living History Museum, which Irma founded, exemplifies her tenacious 
spirit.
  Ms. Wyhs has left her imprint on many other establishments in our 
community, such as the Foothills Art Center where she was the first 
director and the Golden Pioneer Museum.
  Irma Wyhs has written for numerous publications, including the 
history page of the Golden Transcript. Currently she is writing 
articles for the Fence Post about Zebulon Pike and his descendents to 
mark the 200th anniversary of his exploration of the Southwest.
