                       Wednesday, March 12, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize Bob Bigelow of Pagosa Springs, Colorado for his outstanding 
service to the education of Colorado's youth. Bob has been involved as 
a volunteer in Pagosa Springs schools for eight years.
  Bob is a retired rancher and corporate CEO who volunteers five days a 
week at area schools. At the local elementary school, he offers small 
group attention to students who need it, and also works with sixth 
graders to improve math and reading skills. Outside the classroom, Bob 
serves as the Accountability Chair for his school district and 
volunteers as a ``big brother'' to several local youth. In honor of his 
service, the Pagosa Springs Area Chamber of Commerce has named Bob 
Citizen of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to recognize Bob Bigelow for his 
dedication and commitment to the children of Pagosa Springs. His 
energetic service has enriched their young lives beyond measurement, 
and I am honored to recognize his accomplishments before this body of 
Congress and this nation.
