                       RECOGNIZING LOUISE JOHNSON

  (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 
the outstanding service of Mrs. Louise Johnson, this year's recipient 
of the Friends of the Fair Award from the Clinton County Fair.
  Mrs. Johnson has dedicated herself to the people and organizations of 
Clinton County for many years, particularly the Clinton County Fair.
  She served as chair of the Hershey Baking Contest for 22 years, as 
co-chair for Open Show for 19 years, and created the Sizzling Senior 
Talent Show in 2010.
  Beyond her involvement at the fair, Mrs. Johnson has served at the 
Monument Church of Christ for more than six decades, teaching Sunday 
school, playing the piano, and serving as treasurer.
  She has further enriched the community by teaching crochet classes, 
serving residents at Haven Skilled Rehabilitation and Nursing, and 
assisting at Lock Haven Hospital.
  Mr. Speaker, the time and dedication Mrs. Johnson has given to her 
community is truly inspiring. I am so proud to congratulate her on this 
well-deserved award.
  I congratulate Mrs. Johnson, and I thank her for all that she has 
given in services to the communities of both Centre and Clinton 
Counties.
