                    HONORING CLARENCE DOYLE McGINLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 15, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before this body of Congress today 
to pay tribute to a lifelong journalist and journeyman. Clarence 
McGinley, known to friends and family as Doyle, dedicated his life to a 
career in journalism. His profession took him on adventures across the 
country, finally settling down in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. As we 
reflect on his passing, I would like to recognize Doyle for his 
journalistic accomplishments and the impact that he had on his 
community.
  When Doyle's skills as a plate maker for newspaper presses became 
outdated, the paper presented him with an opportunity to work as a 
reporter. Doyle's career flourished, winning a Pulitzer Prize for his 
reporting on Vietnam protests only two years later. While Doyle did not 
have traditional schooling as a reporter, he was widely known for his 
ability to track down a story. He continued his career in journalism 
and began a new career in the bail bond business when he moved to 
Glenwood Springs in the 1980s to care for his aging parents. Doyle's 
son, Wayne, noted that Doyle will be remembered by the community as a 
friend to everyone and by his children as a loving father.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand before this body of Congress today 
to recognize the positive impact that Doyle had on my district and the 
State of Colorado. Individuals like Doyle provide the spirit and 
strength of character that make this nation great. I extend my deepest 
sympathies to Doyle's family and friends during this difficult time.
