                         TRIBUTE TO GARY FROST

 Ms. AYOTTE. Madam President, today I wish to recognize an 
outstanding New Hampshire citizen, Mr. Gary Frost. Gary will retire at 
the end of this year after serving as the CEO of the Boys and Girls 
Club of Manchester for 26 years.
  Gary grew up in Keene and graduated from the University of New 
Hampshire. He has devoted his life to improving the lives of children 
and New Hampshire citizens in need. In his 37-year tenure at the Boys 
and Girls Club of Manchester, it has become a safe and welcoming place 
for Manchester's youth to study, play and find a hot meal.
  When Gary first joined the organization, the club was housed in one 
building on the corner of Union and Lowell Streets in Manchester. One 
of his greatest accomplishments was spearheading the $7.2 million 
dollar capital campaign to renovate and expand the Union Street Club 
House so that the organization could serve more children. Today, under 
Gary's capable leadership and steady hand, the Boys and Girls Club now 
extends across an entire city block and serves over 600 children a day.
  Those who work with Gary describe his deep commitment to and 
compassion for the children he works with and his community.
  In addition to his work transforming the Boys and Girls Club, Gary 
has served Manchester in many other ways. He was an integral member of 
the committee that brought the Verizon Wireless Arena to Manchester, an 
important addition to the city's cultural offerings. He's also been a 
longtime member of the Manchester Rotary Club.
  I hope Gary enjoys retirement at his camp on Newfound Lake and 
spending time with his wife Dotti and his two daughters, Abby and Kara. 
I join the City of Manchester and residents across the Granite State in 
thanking Gary for his service and wishing him all the best for a long, 
happy and fulfilling retirement.
