  Mr. McINNIS.  Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to Ross Worley of Durango, Colorado. 
Ross recently retired from Fort Lewis College, where he has directed 
the Audio/Visual Department in their John Reed Library since 1969. As 
Ross retires, I would like to recognize his many years of hard work and 
dedication to Fort Lewis College.
  Ross began his work with Fort Lewis College in 1969, starting first 
as an audio/visual student assistant before his eventual promotion as 
director of the department. In his 32 years as director at Fort Lewis, 
Ross supervised over 150 students, providing each of them with an 
exemplary model of commitment. An effective Audio/Visual department can 
provide students with interesting and exciting ways to present and 
engage information. With technology changing daily, Ross worked 
diligently to provide our youth with the educational tools to succeed 
in this demanding field.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this Congress and this 
nation to recognize the accomplishments of Ross Worley. His hard work 
and dedication provided Fort Lewis College with the ability to reach 
its students in

noble calling and Ross' 32 years of service are truly a remarkable 
accomplishment. Thank you, Ross, for the service you have provided our 
community. I wish you all the best in your retirement.
