                         Thursday, May 17, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to honor 
the life of Mr. William Hanley. Mr. Hanley served his community 
diligently as the Mayor of Mountain Village. His contributions to the 
area were varied and distinguished. Not only did Mr. Hanley serve as 
Mayor, but as a member of the board of directors on various community 
organizations. As his friends, family and colleagues gather this week 
to celebrate a life spent in service to the public, I too would like to 
pay tribute to William and honor his accomplishments. Clearly his 
service is worthy of the praise of Congress.
  Born in San Pedro, California, William spent much of his childhood 
overseas. His family eventually settled in Indianapolis, Indiana making 
annual trips to Walloon Lake in Michigan. This summer tradition created 
the avid outdoor enthusiast and sportsman that his friends and family 
know well. William attended the Fountain Valley School, and received 
his degree from the University of Colorado. In 1989 William moved from 
San Francisco to the Telluride area with the beautiful Kimmy Kelly whom 
he married the following year. The hobbies that he enjoyed included 
skiing, golfing, fly fishing and spending time with his family.
  William started his career in the Telluride area as a real estate 
developer and realtor. He then served on various board of directors 
including Mountain Village Metro District, Telluride Foundation and the 
Elk Run Homeowners Association. He was also a member of the Telluride 
Elks Club and the Telluride Ski and Golf Club. For eight years William 
made great contributions to the town of Mountain Village, as their 
Mayor. As Mayor he had the opportunity to touch many lives.
  Mr. Speaker, although Mr. Hanley's life was short, he made an 
enormous impact on his community. His wife Kimmy, daughter Ryan, son 
Wilder along with his parents Barbara and William, Jr., sister Bobsey 
and brother Micheal should all be extremely proud of his 
accomplishments. William is an example to all, and going to be missed 
by many. His legacy, Mr. Speaker, is what I would like to honor here 
today.
