                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 12, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
honor a lifelong educator from my district. Bette Lunn, of Pueblo, 
Colorado, has given the gift of music to students for 46 years. As 
Bette embarks on her retirement, I would like to recognize her career 
before this body of Congress and this nation.
  Bette began teaching in Ohio in 1957 and moved with her husband to 
Pueblo in 1972. After spending 12 years as the vocal music teacher at 
Heaton Middle School, Bette transferred to East High School where she 
has taught for the last 19 years. Her ability to connect with children 
has inspired a number of students to become teachers and has also 
earned her a number of awards. Bette has been named an outstanding 
teacher in her district and is also a member of the Colorado Music 
Educators Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand before this body today to recognize 
Bette Lunn, a woman who has clearly demonstrated her commitment to our 
nation's youth. Even though she is retiring, Bette still plans to 
volunteer to work with young people in her community. She possesses the 
spirit of giving that helped make our country great. Thank you, Bette, 
for many years of service to the youth of Pueblo.
