                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 11, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to a Glenwood Springs, Colorado community activist Mary 
Steinbrecher, 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 and enhance our 
society's way of life. Mary demonstrates such impressive qualities, it 
is fitting she received the 2002 Athena award in recognition of her 
humanitarian efforts.
  Mary is an individual who performs any task, large or small, with 
astounding precision and perfection. Her vision to improve and enhance 
situations and circumstances provides a level of excellence to any 
organization or establishment she assists. She was instrumental in 
obtaining the new Glenwood Springs Community Center, and her tireless, 
selfless efforts finished the project ahead of schedule. Even though 
Mary's achievements in Glenwood extend to every citizen, Mary humbly 
accepts her praises with dignity.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride I honor such an outstanding 
individual before this body of Congress and this nation. Mary 
contributed so much, and she was so thoughtful, words will never 
express our appreciation for her. Mary, thank you for your hard work in 
our community, and I anticipate great future achievements from you.
