               RECIPIENTS OF THE ANNUAL YELLOW DOG AWARD

  (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 
Susan Gibson Perry and Sherri Huston Schulze, both recipients of the 
annual Yellow Dog Award.
  This award, presented by the Penn Brad Oil Museum in Custer City, 
Pennsylvania, honors Susan and Sherri's leadership and dedication in 
preserving the history of the Bradford Oil Field.
  The Bradford Oil Field was the world's first billion-dollar oilfield, 
and today, the Penn Brad Oil Museum preserves the philosophy and spirit 
of the historic oil community.
  Mr. Speaker, Susan and Sherri have strong ties to the oil industry, 
each dating back five generations. Susan recalls learning about the oil 
industry from her father and uncle. In 1995, she began work with the 
Penn Brad Oil Museum and eventually served as its president from 2003 
to 2014.
  Sherri originally came to the museum for research purposes, but began 
working at the museum in 2000 and spent 10 years serving the museum in 
various roles.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to congratulate these two outstanding 
women, and I thank them for their years of dedicated service and 
contributions to the Pennsylvania oil industry and the Bradford 
community.
