I rise to honor Steve Reeder, a dedicated local historian and the chair of the social studies department at Monrovia High School. He has taught at Monrovia High School for over 25 years. Steve spent nearly 2 years researching and writing ``Our Town,'' a book that chronicles the history of Monrovia and the surrounding areas in Morgan County. He first undertook the project to help his students with pride and to have pride in their community. ``Our Town'' was published earlier this year. Steve and his students have also helped with the installation of several local history markers in the community. In addition to getting published, Steve was honored by WISH TV with their Golden Apple Award, which recognizes exceptional teachers in central Indiana. I thank Steve for his decades of educating children and for supporting Morgan County communities.
