                        Thursday, March 8, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wish to take this moment to recognize 
Nettie Reynolds of Gypsum, Colorado, The Points of Light Foundation 
recipient of The Daily Points of Light Award. The Daily Points of Light 
Award honors an individual or organization that makes a positive and 
lasting difference in the lives of others. The award is a fitting 
tribute to a woman who has given of herself immeasurably during the 
course of her distinguished life.
  For more than 30 years, Nettie Reynolds has volunteered to serve her 
community. She first served her community as a teen member of the Civil 
Defense League. Then, in 1969, she organized the town of Gypsum's 
Ladies' Volunteer Fire Department, where she held the position of Fire 
Chief until she retired in 1997. She also managed and ran emergency 
medical calls with the Western Eagle County Ambulance District for many 
years. In addition, Nettie has been active in health care organizations 
and various other emergency medical service agencies. And in her 
``spare time'' Nettie still finds time to visit with seniors and 
disabled citizens, giving them affection and making them feel loved.
  Mr. Speaker, Nettie Reynolds is a role model that people of all ages 
can and should look up to. It is obvious why Nettie Reynolds was chosen 
as The Points of Light Award recipient, I think that we all owe her a 
debt of gratitude for her service and dedication to the community.
  Nettie, your community, state and nation are proud of you and 
grateful for your service.
