                   PAYING TRIBUTE TO JACQUELYN SCHICK

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 5, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to a 
remarkable woman from my district. Jacquelyn Schick spent the last 
forty years acting for the betterment of the people of Pagosa Springs, 
Colorado. Recently, Jackie announced her retirement from her position 
as the Pagosa Springs Town Clerk. When news of the retirement reached 
the citizens of Pagosa Springs, there was an outpouring of gratitude 
for Jackie's years of service. Because of her selfless and caring 
nature, Jackie is truly a beloved member of her community, and it is my 
honor to call her contributions to the attention of this body of 
Congress and this nation.
  Jackie and her husband Gene moved to Pagosa Springs in 1955. After 
she volunteered in the Town Clerk's Office for two years, the Town 
Board asked Jackie to hold the Clerk position permanently. As Town 
Clerk, Jackie was compassionate, caring and dedicated. She always 
approached her job with the best interests of the citizens of Pagosa 
Springs in mind, and did a fine job in serving them.
  Mr. Speaker, it is truly a privilege today to pay tribute to a woman 
who has spent her life serving her fellow Coloradans. Although the 
citizens of Pagosa Springs will miss having Jackie as their Town Clerk, 
she remains a tremendous asset to the Pagosa Springs community. Today I 
join the people of Pagosa Springs in thanking Jackie for her service.
