                      Wednesday, November 3, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the career of one of Colorado's leading ladies, and distinguished 
member of the Bayfield School District Board of Education, Katherine L. 
Phelps. In doing so, I would like to honor this individual who, for 
many years, has exhibited dedication and experience in the education 
system of Bayfield, Colorado.
  Throughout the course of her distinguished career, Katherine's 
dedication to our children has been unparalleled. She has consistently 
worked with the board, the district, and the community to make the 
Bayfield schools the best they could be.
  Aside from her involvement in the school district, she also takes on 
an active role in the community. She is a member of the School 
Accountability Committee, the 4-H club, the booster club, and numerous 
sports programs.
  Together with her husband, Arvin, she has five children: Sharla, 
Rick, Trent, Dion, and Wendy. She also has seven grandchildren and one 
on the way. Undoubtedly, these fine young people will carry the torch 
of dedication and leadership that their mother embraces so diligently.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say thank you to Katherine 
Phelps for her exceptional service on the Bayfield School District 
Board of Education. Because of Mrs. Phelps' dedicated service, it is 
clear that Colorado is a better place. For many years to come, her 
legacy of hard work and dedication will be remembered. I wish her all 
the best in her well deserved retirement and in all future endeavors.
