                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 8, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you to pay tribute to an 
outstanding citizen from my district. Beverly Counts of Craig, 
Colorado, has been working with needy families in the community for 
thirty years as a social service worker in Moffat County. I would like 
to thank Beverly for her hard work and dedication to the Craig 
community and recognize her efforts before this body of Congress here 
today.
  Beverly began her career with the Moffat County Department of Social 
Services in 1973 as a case aide. Upon completion of her Bachelor's 
degree, and later her Master's degree, she rose steadily up the ranks 
in the Department to her current position as a supervisor. Today her 
work focuses on child welfare, as she oversees caseworkers in the 
field.
  Beverly's accomplishments were recently acknowledged by her social 
services co-workers at a party in her honor. I join with them here 
today in honoring Beverly's years of selfless service. Everyday her 
work helps families become better prepared to effectively manage their 
lives in spite of hardships and insurmountable odds. Mr. Speaker, it is 
my privilege to pay tribute to Beverly before this body of Congress, 
and I thank her for all of her hard work. I wish her the best in the 
years to come.
