<p>Montanan of the Week Wyatt Zylawy and U.S. Sen. Steve Daines</p>
In April, Wyatt Zylawy was recognized by Montana Senator Steve Daines for his outstanding achievements in his recent Coast Guard training. Through Daines “Montanan of the Week” initiatives, the Senator recognizes an individual in the official Congressional Record, the document that reflects the official proceedings of Congress.
Two weeks ago, Daines was in St. Regis and presented Wyatt’s father, Roman, with the Congressional Record.
Roman said that he’s very proud of Wyatt’s accomplishments and that he is the second family member to be recognized in the Congressional Record. Wyatt’s namesake (Wyatt Augustus Zylawy), August William Lauterbach, was Wyatt’s great-grandfather. He was a Kansas State Senator and when he died, he was recognized by his friend, Senator, Bob Dole.
