“it is my honor to recognize an outstanding Senate Stationery Room employee, Dale Montgomery, who is retiring today after more than 50 years of service to the U.S. Senate. For Dale, working in the Senate was more than just a calling; it is in his blood. Dale's father worked in the Senate Library for 35 years, and his grandfather worked with the Architect of the Capitol dating back to 1914. So, when the opportunity arose to follow in his family's footsteps, Dale couldn't refuse. Without ever even filling out an application, Dale accepted a job where he would spend the next half- century of his life. Dale's first day in the Stationery Room was in 1973, in a different world and a very different Senate. He rose through the ranks, starting in the warehouse doing deliveries before moving to the Stationery Store as a clerk and then as a sales associate. No matter the title he held, Dale approached each task with a great level of care and attention to detail. His contributions to the day-to-day operations of the Senate are truly immeasurable. Dale quickly became one of the Senate community's most beloved members. His affable nature and affinity for music attracted friends and strangers alike, people from all around the country. Dale was a sought-after DJ and was known to make an appearance at Senator Ford's Kentucky Derby parties. It didn't matter where, when, or how you met Dale, he was sure to leave a lasting impression.…”
