  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to Peggy Lue Reece, a truly amazing woman from Gunnison, 
Colorado. Peggy Lue spent nearly half a century working to better the 
Stockgrowers industry. She amassed an impressive record of 
accomplishments during her tenure, and I am honored to recognize her 
service before this body of Congress and this Nation.
  Peggy Lou Reece began her service in the agriculture industry as 
Secretary for the Gunnison County Stockgrowers Association in 1963. For 
the last 41 years, she has held the post under the leadership of 21 
presidents. In addition to secretarial duties, Peggy Lue also served as 
the organization's treasurer. She came from an agricultural family, and 
brought with her a great passion for the industry. Even in her 
retirement, Peggy Lue plans to help whenever she is needed.

  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to honor Peggy Lue for her dedication 
to the Stockgrowers of Gunnison County and Colorado's Agriculture 
industry. She has served her community and state well for over 40 years 
and deserves our gratitude. It is with great pleasure that I recognize 
her today before this body of Congress and this Nation. Thanks Peggy 
Lue, and I wish you well with all of your future endeavors.
