                                of iowa

                  in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jan and Karl Knock for being inducted into the Creston 
High School Hall of Fame as Distinguished Contributors on Friday, 
September 29, 2017.
  Karl and Jan were deeply involved in the Creston school district by 
providing programs and opportunities for students. One of those 
programs is the school's Environmental and Spatial Technology class 
(EAST). They have also been involved with the Character Counts program 
and with diversity programs. Karl was a 1968 graduate of Creston 
schools and after moving back to Creston with Jan in 1989, wanted to 
make Creston a place where today's students can thrive.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Jan and Karl for receiving 
this award, and for providing the youth in Iowa's 3rd district the 
education that they will need to be successful. It is with great pride 
that I recognize leaders like Jan and Karl in the United States 
Congress and I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating him for this outstanding 
achievement and in wishing them both nothing but the best.
