                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dannie Stephens of Creston, Iowa, for his induction into 
the Creston High School Hall of Fame.
  Dannie attended Creston High School in the late 1960s and was a 
varsity letterman, qualifying for the state wrestling tournament in 
1968. Dannie began his teaching career in 1974, and in 1980 he returned 
to Creston to teach and coach wrestling. Dannie has had a lasting 
impact on his students both in the classroom and in the gym, 
challenging and encouraging students to do their best and dream big. He 
is recognized throughout the community as a teacher who was, and 
continues to be, committed to making a difference in each of his 
students' lives.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent Dannie in the United States 
Congress and to have the opportunity to recognize him today. I ask that 
all of my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join 
me in congratulating Dannie for his achievements and in wishing him 
nothing but continued success.
