                      Wednesday, December 16, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Curt Turner, of Creston, Iowa, for being selected as the 
Creston Citizen of the Year.
  Curt Turner graduated from Diagonal High School as valedictorian and 
attended the

United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado Springs. 
He moved to Creston in 1978 and opened his own insurance agency, 
American Family Insurance, in 1986. By the time Curt retired in 2008, 
he had led the company nationally in farm sales for 10 consecutive 
years. During his 22 years of working in insurance, he was also a major 
contributor to the Creston community. He was a member of the Elks, 
served on the school board from 1990-1999, remains an active member of 
his church, and in his retirement, continues to serve the community as 
a local Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) 
volunteer.
  Mr. Speaker, Curt's dedication to his community and willingness to 
serve represents all that is great with our state. His efforts embody 
the Iowa spirit and I am honored to represent him and Iowans like him 
in the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating Curt for his 
achievements and wishing him nothing but continued success.
