                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 2, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise before 
you to pay tribute to the life of a remarkable man from my district. 
Stanley Barron from Stonewall, Colorado passed away recently at the age 
of eighty-two. Stanley was a patriot, rancher, and conservationist, and 
it is my privilege to honor his accomplishments today.
   Stanley began his career serving in the Army Air Corps during World 
War II, flying thirty missions over Europe in his B-17 aircraft, which 
he aptly named the Colorado Eagle. When Stanley returned to Colorado, 
he began conservation work, and later won multiple awards for his 
expertise on land surveys and property boundaries throughout the 
southern areas of the state. Upon retiring from conservation work, he 
started volunteering at the Stonewall Fire Department, the Las Animas 
County Sheriff's Department, and the Colorado Cattleman's Association. 
Stanley eventually rose to chief of the fire department and president 
of the Southern Colorado Cattleman's Association.
   Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise before this body of Congress to 
pay tribute to the life of Stanley Barron. Stanley was a devoted 
volunteer, husband, and father who made a tremendous impact on his 
community and all that were fortunate enough to know him. The Stonewall 
community, and the State of Colorado mourns his loss, and my heart goes 
out to his loved ones during this difficult time of bereavement.
