     HONORING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE CHRONICLE

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 1, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 40th 
anniversary of the founding of The Chronicle newspaper.
  The Chronicle was established by Mark Frost in 1980 in Glens Falls, 
New York. Through hard work and determination, Mark turned an initial 
investment of $1,700 into a successful and profitable newspaper. He 
remains the publisher and editor today, alongside staffers who have 
been with The Chronicle for decades. In that time, they have 
established a loyal base of readers and advertisers, becoming a 
cornerstone of the community.
  The Chronicle has long hosted events to provide a forum for 
discussion and to bring Glens Falls residents together, especially 
through Autumn Leaves: The Chronicle Book Fair. The fair is an 
opportunity to highlight and connect local authors and publishers, and 
discover books of all genres. Annual events like this are important to 
strengthen and grow the fabric of our communities, and I know many who 
are looking forward to safely resuming them as soon as possible.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like to thank Mark and 
the entire Chronicle staff for their contributions to the community and 
congratulate them on reaching this important milestone.

                          ____________________
