                       THANK YOU, HARRY MOSGROVE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 22, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pause a moment to recognize 
a man who has contributed a great deal to the community of Colorado. 
The man is Harry Mosgrove. Harry has been president and CEO of Copper 
Mountain Ski Resort since 1987. In the 12 years since he took this 
office Copper Mountain has enjoyed great success. The 1995-96 ski 
season was their best ever. They have also begun many programs, such as 
``West Fest'', and building projects that have already enhanced the 
services Copper Mountain offers its guests. Perhaps his most 
significant contribution was to help Copper Mountain smoothly join with 
Intrawest, its new parent company. Now, after 18 successful years with 
Copper Mountain, Mr. Mosgrove has announced his retirement. He is 
getting ready to be a grandfather and is going to take the time for a 
well-deserved rest.
  The important thing about Mr. Mosgrove, however, is that he didn't 
start at the top. In 1981 he came on to the team as manager of real 
estate. From there he moved to the positions of executive vice 
president and chief operating officer. He has also served as chairman 
of Colorado Ski Country USA. He will continue to be an active member of 
the executive committee and the board of directors as well.
  Harry Mosgrove has been called a ``guiding light'' and has also been 
said to be ``a man of great integrity and vision.'' Business and our 
communities as a whole could use more people with Harry Mosgrove's 
attributes. For all of these reasons, I am offering my congratulations 
to Harry Mosgrove on his retirement but, more than that, I am thanking 
him for all he has done throughout his years of service. I know that he 
will be missed at Copper Mountain and I wish him well.
