                       TRIBUTE TO PHYLLIS LUDWIG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 21, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to an outstanding civil servant from 
my district. After almost three decades of service, Phyllis Ludwig of 
Bayfield, Colorado recently announced her retirement from the Bayfield 
Post Office. As she prepares to begin a new phase in her life, I am 
honored to pay tribute to Phyllis and her many accomplishments.
  Phyllis has been with the Bayfield Post Office for nearly twenty-
eight years. She began as a part time flexible worker, steadily working 
her way up the ranks. In 1983, Phyllis was appointed Postmaster. To her 
credit, in the twenty years that she has served as Postmaster, not a 
single grievance has been filed against her.
  While Phyllis may be retiring from her professional life, she plans 
to remain active in the community. Phyllis will remain President of the 
Upper Pine River Fire Department Auxiliary and will continue to 
organize Operation Merry Christmas, a program to assist underprivileged 
children and families.
  Mr. Speaker, Phyllis Ludwig is an active member of her community and 
dedicated civil servant. She has devoted nearly twenty-eight years to 
serving her friends and neighbors, and I am honored to join with my 
colleagues in recognition of her service today. Thank you, Phyllis, for 
your tireless work. I wish you all the best in retirement.
