                     PAYING TRIBUTE TO JUDI HAYWARD

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Judi Hayward, an exceptional individual who has 
selflessly devoted her time and energy to the betterment of the 
community. I applaud her outstanding character, and her desire to 
support her community. Judi Hayward demonstrates amazing qualities 
worthy of such praise.
  Judi so much admired the majestic mountains of Colorado, she moved 
from the Midwest to Battlement Mesa in 1980, where she met her beloved 
husband the late Lee Hayward. Judi actively contributed to the 
community of Battlement Mesa, beginning to work at the American Heart 
Association in 1986. After she married, Judi became her husband's 
humanitarian colleague, and aided her husband with his duties at the 
National Park Service. Not surprisingly, she later deservingly became 
the President of the Grand Valley Parks Association.
  Judi has actively assisted the Historical Society with their plans to 
renovate an old school house, and develop a small museum. Because Judi 
strongly believes in the idea of neighborhood unity, she diligently 
worked with the Junior College School board, towards the improvement of 
local community Colleges. Judi's selfless contributions over the past 
few decades continue with each responsibility she undertakes. Judi 
currently sits on the Zoning Commission board in Parachute, Colorado, 
and she looks to help improve future neighborhood growth.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride, I honor such an amazing 
individual before this body of Congress and this nation. Words will 
never express the gratitude that I have for Judi, but I will state my 
sincerest appreciation for her efforts. Judi, thank you for your hard 
work in our country, and I anticipate great future achievements from 
you.
