                      Thursday, November 20, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to a 
remarkable woman from my district. Robin Garvin has dedicated her life 
in service of the children of the Roaring Fork Valley. It is my honor 
to pay tribute to her contributions here today.
  Robin recently announced her retirement from the Roaring Fork School 
District's RE-1 Board of Education. Robin was an outstanding member of 
the Board for eight years and spent the last half of her tenure serving 
as the Board's President.
   Robin approached her position with the best interests of children in 
mind. Her term was defined by a tireless commitment to providing the 
students of the Roaring Fork Valley with the best possible education. 
The Roaring Fork Valley is undoubtedly a better place as the result of 
Robin's service.
   Mr. Speaker, I am honored to bring Robin Garvin's contributions to 
the attention of this body of Congress and our nation. Robin has 
managed to devote herself to bettering the Roaring Fork Valley's system 
of education while happily acting as a devoted mother, wife and friend. 
I am proud to join the citizens of the Roaring Fork Valley in thanking 
Robin for her service.
