                        TRIBUTE TO RUTH ZEMLOCK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 14, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
one of Colorado's exceptional citizens, Ruth Zemlock. In doing so, I 
would like to pay tribute to a woman who has shown, time and again, 
that it pays to give a little back to the community.
  Ruth Zemlock is a resident of Colorado who has made a large impact on 
her community through her genuine care for others. Above and beyond 
being a model citizen, Ruth contributes her time as a volunteer at the 
Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs. For the last 14 years, Ruth 
Zemlock has given more than 11,000 hours of her time to the hospital. 
In recognition of her contributions to the community Ruth Zemlock has 
recently been awarded the ``1998 Senior Volunteer Service Award'' in 
Garfield county. Obviously, this is a fitting award for such a 
fantastic public servant.
  It is said by those how are privileged to know her, that Ruth Zemlock 
is a delightful lady who dedicates her senior years to making the lives 
of others a little bit better. Ruth is obviously a women with a warm 
heart who, selflessly, gives to those in need.
  Individuals such as Ruth, who volunteer their time to a good cause, 
are a rare breed. Fellow citizens have gained immensely by knowing Ruth 
Zemlock, and for that we owe her a debt of gratitude.
