 CONGRATULATIONS TO KOHLER AND CAROL McINNIS ON THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 1, 1996

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in order to congratulate 
Kohler and Carol McInnis, my father and mother, on their Golden 50th 
Wedding Anniversary on August 27, 1996. They will celebrate the 
occasion by renewing their vows during mass at St. Stephen's Catholic 
Church in Glenwood Springs, CO. Glenwood Springs has been their home 
for more than 45 years, and they have many, many friends throughout the 
area.
  Kohler and Carol have six children, Michael McInnis of Boulder, 
Kohler McInnis II of Durango, Kathy Krey of Glenwood Springs, Patty 
McInnis-Cole of Evergreen, Carie McInnis-Raaum of Grand Junction, and 
Scott McInnis of Grand Junction.
  In addition, Kohler and Carol have 12 grandchildren, all of whom will 
be joining in the celebration.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to share with my 
colleagues some background on these two very special people. Originally 
from Walsenburg, CO, my parents moved to Glenwood Springs in 1952, 
where my father, a small businessman, owned and operated a hardwood 
store. While my mother was a dedicated and hardworking homemaker of six 
children all of whom were very well behaved, my father became a member 
of the First Industrial Bank board, and later was part of the group 
which opened the Bank of Glenwood.
  It is rare that a Congressman would profess love in the Congressional 
Record, but in this situation, it comes very easy. I extend my love and 
congratulations to them both on their Golden Anniversary.
