IN HONOR OF RICHARD ``DICK'' HAMILTON
______
HON. ANN M. KUSTER
of new hampshire
in the house of representatives
Friday, May 14, 2021
Ms. KUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard ``Dick'' Hamilton for his selfless work to honor the memory of our cherished state symbol, the Old Man of the Mountain. His granite resolve has led to this beautiful plaza where you stand today.
Daniel Webster wrote, ``Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades; shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe, jewelers a monster watch, and dentists hang out a gold tooth. Now, up in New Hampshire, God almighty has hung out a sign to show that here he makes men.'' Dick Hamilton is one of those men.
As we remember May 2, 2003, the day the Old Man gave up his perch on the side of Cannon Mountain, we also salute Dick and countless others who carry on the memory of the Old Man and what he means to the people of the Granite State. I take this time to honor Dick and keep the memory of the Old Man alive
