                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 16, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to James Harlow for his commitment to education and public 
service in his La Junta, Colorado, community. For nearly four decades, 
James has been teaching English at La Junta High School and, after a 
rewarding career, will be retiring next year. For his outstanding 
dedication and commitment to the youth of La Junta, I would like to 
thank James before this body of Congress and this nation today.
  Those whose lives James have touched over the years know him to be a 
passionate, friendly, and fair teacher. His inspiration to become a 
teacher came from his own high school English teacher, and since 
graduating from Adams State College, he has taught and inspired 
countless youths in his own classroom. Since 1965, James has taught 
English classes at the high school, and since 1976, has coached the 
school's golf team.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to bring the service of James Harlow to the 
attention of this body of Congress, and commend him for the manner in 
which he has served his La Junta, Colorado community. The dedication 
and enthusiasm he brings to teaching his students is admirable, and I 
would like to thank him for all he has done for La Junta, and wish him 
the best in his future endeavors.
