                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 11, 1998

  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend 
two of my constituents for their business excellence and a commitment 
to public service. Lifetime residents of Logan County, Colorado, Chuck 
and Ruth Lynch believe in their hometown of Sterling. After serving 
36\1/2\ years as Field Superintendent of the North Sterling Irrigation 
District, and as former President of the Four States Irrigation 
Council, Chuck ``retired.''
  Today, and for the past 5\1/2\ years, the Lynch's have owned and 
operated the only dry cleaning establishment in Sterling, New Method 
Cleaners, and are very involved community members. Both Chuck and Ruth 
have been Co-commanders of the Berean Church's International Awana 
Youth Program for twelve years. Ruth is also a medical technician for 
two ophthalmologists in town. They are both proud members of the 
community who believe that small businesses strengthen small 
communities.
  It is for these reasons I happily rise today to honor Chuck and Ruth 
Lynch. I hold them up to the House, and to all Americans, as a shining 
examples of the best of America's businesses. They exemplify the 
industrious spirit, can-do attitude, and community involvement that 
made America great.
