                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 5, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Alan Walts for his 
distinguished, 44-year long career in the field of broadcasting on the 
occasion of his retirement.
  Alan Walts began his broadcasting career in Watertown in 1976 and has 
hosted Watertown's Morning News on AM radio station, 790 WTNY, for the 
past ten years. Glen Curry, General Manager at Stevens Media Group, 
said ``Alan would arrive at the station at 4 a.m. every morning, rain 
or shine, through his entire decade-long tenure as the host.'' He has 
also been a consistent volunteer for many organizations including the 
Salvation Army. As host of the morning news show, Alan made himself a 
pillar of the Watertown community and his departure marks the end of an 
era.
  Alan Walts demonstrates the hard working, community minded nature 
that the North Country is known for. On behalf of New York's 21st 
District, I would like to thank Alan for his contribution to the 
community and wish him well on this next chapter in his life.
