                           HON. JOHN J. FASO

                      Thursday, December 14, 2017

  Mr. FASO. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound respect that I rise today 
to recognize and celebrate Mrs. Juanita Knott for being named a ``New 
York State Registered Historian''. This designation is reserved for 
those special few in our state who exemplify ingenuity and have an 
authentic passion for promoting local history.
  Mrs. Knott has served the Town of Stuyvesant as its historian for 
over twenty years. Through actively conserving, interpreting, and 
presenting the town's history in unique and engaging ways, she has 
unearthed the wonders, heroes, and stories of Stuyvesant's past. 
Understanding local history is a key way in which we discover a shared 
identity and strengthen our democracy. That is why historians like Mrs. 
Knott play such a vital role in communities throughout New York and 
nationwide.
  I am grateful for Mrs. Knott's years of dedicated service to the 
Stuyvesant community, to the 19th District, and to New York state. I 
wish her the best as she continues to preserve the historical integrity 
of Stuyvesant. Her work will be remembered for generations to come.
