                      TRIBUTE TO THERESA MCKINNEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                  in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 16, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to recognize the 
almost four decades that Theresa McKinney of Rocky Ford, Colorado has 
contributed to the children of my state. For the last twelve years, 
Theresa has been kitchen manager at Rocky Ford High School, rising 
early in the morning to begin her many hours of cooking as she oversees 
the nutrition of Rocky Ford's children. Theresa will soon be retiring 
from her service at Rocky Ford, and I am proud to speak of her 
accomplishments here today.
  Theresa has seen many kids come and go in her years at Rocky Ford and 
I know she will miss the spirit and laughter that the children have 
brought into her life. Her dedication to the school system has provided 
the children with an exemplary model of hard work. Theresa always 
arrived early and worked hard until her job was done.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the contributions Theresa 
has made to the well being of Colorado's children. Her hard work and 
dedication to Rocky Ford High School is certainly deserving of 
recognition before this body. Theresa, I wish you well in all of your 
future endeavors.
