                     PAYING TRIBUTE TO LUCY MEYRING

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 10, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to the historic achievement of a remarkable woman from my 
home state. Lucy Meyring of North Park, Colorado was recently chosen as 
the next president of the Colorado Cattleman's Association. What makes 
this more special is the fact that the Cattleman's association is the 
oldest in the country and Lucy will become its first female president. 
I join with my colleagues to congratulate Lucy on this remarkable 
achievement.
  Lucy has spent her entire life as a cattlewoman in Colorado, and has 
a deep love of ranching and the cattle industry. As the newest leader 
of the Colorado Cattleman's Association, Lucy hopes to educate our 
youth on the importance of agriculture and the origin of such staples 
as milk and meat. While Lucy recognizes that she will have an extensive 
travel schedule over the next year, she believes that doing so will 
provide a unified voice for all cattlemen throughout Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise before this body of Congress to 
pay tribute to the achievements of Lucy Meyring. Throughout her life, 
Lucy has been a devoted cattlewoman and earned the respect and 
admiration of her colleagues, friends and fellow citizens. It is a 
great honor to rise before this body of Congress to congratulate Lucy 
on her achievements. I wish her all the best throughout her tenure.
