      TRIBUTE TO JERRY GROSWOLD--DENVER & COLORADO TRAVEL INDUSTRY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
congratulate Jerry Groswold on being inducted into the Denver & 
Colorado Travel Industry Hall of Fame. He is one of only seven members 
to receive this distinction. He was inducted on April 1, 2000 at the 
Second Annual Denver's Salute to Tourism, an event which raised over 
$25,000 last year for Colorado students entering the hospitality and 
tourism field.
  Mr. Groswold's roots have a long-standing history with tourism in 
Colorado. He got his feet wet as a water boy for early ski pioneers, 
building the first trails on the slopes in Winter Park, Colorado. In 
1959, he joined the Winter Park Recreational Association and eventually 
served as chairman. After his tenure as chairman, he became Chief 
Executive Officer for the resort and held it for 22 years. Currently, 
Jerry is serving as Chairman of the Board for Club 20 in western 
Colorado.
  Without Jerry's contribution, Winter Park would not be the ski 
community that it is today. His dedication and commitment helped to 
complete one of the largest ski expansions in Colorado's tourism 
history. I am proud to honor Jerry and thank him for his efforts to 
make Colorado's tourism industry a model for other states.
