                        Friday, October 2, 1998

  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
tribute to two of my constituents that operate a farmers market on 
Highway 34 near Greeley. Small business owners and hard-working 
entrepreneurs across my home state of Colorado are the heart and soul 
of our thriving economy. At the heart of every small business owner is 
the entrepreneurial spirit of our forefathers who founded and shaped 
this great country. I commend Mr. Patrick Kelley and Ms. Mabel Swafford 
for their hard work, good business, and devotion to making their 
customers happy. Mr. Kelley and Ms. Swafford sell fresh-picked fruit 
and vegetables with a warm smile and a kind hand. I commend them for 
their selfless dedication and extra effort for their customers. These 
good people set a fine example of why rural Colorado is such a 
wonderful place and their work contributes to building a better 
Colorado and a stronger America.
