                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2001

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to express 
gratitude and congratulations to one of Colorado's outstanding young 
citizens, Mr. Hunter Hall, of Greeley, Colorado, who recently traveled 
to Washington D.C. to sing at the White House.
  This is certainly a high honor for him and for Colorado. Hunter, an 
eighth grader at Brentwood Middle School, performs about 50 times a 
year with Colorado's Children's Chorale. Hunter Hall is a hard worker 
and has performed with the highest degree of excellence. Everyone who 
has been fortunate enough to know Hunter speaks of his deep commitment 
to performing and the arts. I am glad to say Hunter Hall has been an 
inspiration not only to other members of the chorale but also to his 
family and friends.
  Hunter and his parents make great sacrifices for him to perform, and 
his commitment never falters. This is an experience he will look upon 
with pride. I stand today to honor his persistence and dedication to 
the performing arts. Hunter Hall has dedicated much of his time to the 
arts and I hope he will continue to do so in the future. He is truly a 
fine example for all Americans.
  A constituent of Colorado's Fourth Congressional District, Hunter not 
only makes his community proud, but also of his state and his country. 
It is a true honor to know such an extraordinary citizen and we owe him 
a debt of gratitude for his dedication. I ask the House to join me in 
extending hearty congratulations to Mr. Hunter Hall.
