  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise before you today to 
honor the lifetime achievements of a man from my district. For over 
thirty years, Jim Lunn, of Pueblo, Colorado has dedicated his life 
toward educating young musicians. Jim has been an outstanding teacher, 
and for his service, has recently been inducted into the Colorado Music 
Educators Hall of Fame. I would like to ask my colleagues in Congress 
to please join me in recognizing him here today.
   Jim was nominated for this prestigious award by several of his 
colleagues, who recognized his dedication to helping children learn and 
appreciate music. Jim also volunteers his time to grade schools, choral 
concerts, local theaters and his church. Jim's love of music and his 
willingness to share his passion for it has been a blessing for his 
community.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to rise before this body of 
Congress to pay tribute to the life-long achievements and dedication of 
Jim Lunn. For almost forty years, Jim has devoted his life to fostering 
children's interest in music. Jim now joins his wife as a recipient of 
the award and they are only the second couple in Colorado to win this 
high honor. It is my privilege to offer my congratulations and 
gratitude to Jim for his continuing efforts to bring music appreciation 
to the Pueblo community and the State of Colorado.
