                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 16, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor I take this 
opportunity to recognize William T. Ward, III as an exceptional 
individual whose contributions to the University of Southern Colorado 
have helped shape a positive future for the University and its 
students. On June 28th, William, known as Bill, will retire, leaving 
behind a legacy of accomplishments. It is with great pleasure that I 
applaud an individual who has selflessly committed his time and energy 
to the betterment of his community.
  Bill and his family have lived in Pueblo since 1946 and their hard 
work helped build and uphold the principles and values of the Pueblo 
community. Because of Bill's devotion and dedication, it is fitting 
that he was elected as the President of the CSU Alumni in 1973. In 1986 
he pursued a real estate career, and he ends his duties with dignity 
and integrity by retiring from his current position as the Director of 
Development and Alumni Relations at the University of Southern 
Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, today we honor an individual who closes a chapter on a 
very fruitful and successful career. I commend the hard work and 
dedication Bill has provided to the association, and I am confident his 
experience and wisdom will benefit all of his future endeavors. Bill 
has been a model community member, and that is why I bring forth his 
accomplishments before this body of Congress and the nation. Bill's 
hard work is greatly appreciated and we salute his diligence to his 
community.
