Senator Jauch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Lori Schneider of Bayfield. Lori is currently at 17,500 feet at the Nepal Mt. Everest Base Camp as she prepares to climb the world's highest mountain and become one of the few climbers in the world to achieve the "Seven Summits Challenge" in which an individual climbs the highest mountain on each continent. She is a retired teacher and mountain climber who has an inspirational story of personal empowerment and adventure. In 1993, she and her father climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and the dream of climbing the highest mountains was born. Six years later, however, her doctors informed her that the numbness she had been experiencing was from Multiple Sclerosis. Despite the serious diagnosis, subsequent surgery, and recurring symptoms, Schneider continued to pursue her dream. By November 2008, she had reached six of the seven summits. Clearly she saved the highest peak and toughest climb for last. Senator Jauch has designated a section of his website to share her story and post the blog and video that tracks her travels. The Senator encourages everyone to follow her on her amazing journey and commend her for her bravery. She is a remarkable woman and her quest to achieve this magnificent feat is an inspiration to all of us.
Senator Wirch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Russ Say, for 50 years of service to the Twin Lakes Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad.
Senator Erpenbach, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of his daughter Amy, who is turning 14 on May 1st.
