Mr. OBERNOLTE. Mr. Speaker, I use today to recognize Terry Fahy who is retiring from his position as Vice President and General Manager of the Salem Media Group in Los Angeles after forty-three years of dedicated service.

After earning his bachelor's degree in English Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara, Terry became increasingly drawn to the copywriting and music industry. Born into a family of salesmen, Terry began his career in broadcast as a sales representative for two stations in Santa Barbara--99.9 KTYD-FM and 990 KBLS-AM. As a testament to his sales development, leadership, and organizational skills, Terry also led the sales and marketing department at the number one Christian Teaching and Talk station in the nation.

Throughout his successful career, Terry and his broadcast stations have earned numerous accolades, including the Marconi Radio Religious and Gospel Station of the Year in 1995, the National Religious Broadcasters' (NAB) Station of the Year in 2000, and Radio Ink Magazine's Best Radio Manager in 2022. In addition to these impressive awards, Terry served as board chair of the California Broadcasters Association and executive committee and board chair of the Southern California Broadcasters Association.

Beyond his service to the Salem Media Group, Terry is a devoted husband to his wife, Cindy, father to twin boys, Garrett and Brian, and grandfather to his six grandchildren He is also a proud member of the Church at Rocky Peak.

Heather and I thank Terry for his years of service, and we wish him and his family well as they enter this well-earned next stage of life. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Terry Fahy and celebrating his retirement.
