                         TRIBUTE TO GREG GUINAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DAN SCHAEFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 24, 1998

  Mr. DAN SCHAEFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
my friend, a native Coloradan Greg Guinan who is retiring after a 
stellar career of nearly forty years with the Tribune Company and for 
the past 29 years with its Denver station, KWGN the very first 
television station in Colorado.
  Under his guidance, Denver's channel 2 has gone to extraordinary 
lengths to report on, inform and uplift our community. For the past 27 
years, Greg has produced and appeared on ``Your Right to Say It,'' 
featuring leaders from Colorado and the nation. Greg has been the 
catalyst for environmental initiatives ``Clean It Up Colorado.'' He has 
overseen the telecast of various activities from Denver's St. Patrick's 
Day Parade to our Easter Seal's Telethon, to a moving 50th anniversary 
documentary of World War II. In 1996, he spearheaded a remarkable ``Yes 
to Youth'' fund which raised $2.2 million for Colorado non-profit 
organizations.
  Let me note in closing that my good friend Greg is also a former 
Marine. To best describe this wonderful person and the fashion in which 
he conducted himself throughout his remarkable career, I think the 
Marine Corps motto fits best--Semper Fidelis, always faithful.
