                    RECOGNIZING MEYER COMMUNICATIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 4, 2014

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Meyer Communications 
for broadcasting The Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the Ozarks area for 
over 50 years.
  My dear friend Ken Meyer and his late wife Jane started Meyer 
Communications. Since its founding, Meyer Communications has been an 
outstanding neighbor in the Ozarks.
  Jane passed away in 2001 but her generous spirit lives on today in 
the philanthropic endeavors of Ken and the Meyer Communications family.
  For almost 86 years, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been dedicated 
to transcending cultural and generational boundaries through music. The 
Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been a much-loved phenomenon of 
broadcasting with the longest continuous broadcast on the air. Meyer 
Communications continues to present the Choir each week to be enjoyed 
by all in the Ozarks.
  As we celebrate this special time of year with our family and 
friends, I want to say thank you to Jane and Ken Meyer for bringing the 
gift of music to the Ozarks.
