                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a sad heart that I rise to 
recognize the passing of Charles Calvin Moore, a great man from 
Silverton, Colorado. Charles was a community leader, public servant, 
and a great friend to many. He made a tremendous impact on Silverton, 
and I am honored today to bring his contributions to the attention of 
this body of Congress and this nation.
  Charles Moore arrived in Silverton in 1969 with his wife Penny with 
the intention of only staying two years. Thirty-four years later, he 
had made a profound impact on the city's institutions and its people. 
Charles began his life in Silverton as a science teacher, a position he 
held for eleven years. He also served his community as a leader in both 
the police department, and as the San Juan county Under Sheriff from 
1987 to 2003. Charles also contributed as a member of the San Juan 
Regional Planning Commission, the Silverton Board of Trustees, the 
Silverton Ambulance Association, and the Treasurer of the Silverton 
Congregational Church.
  Mr. Speaker, Charles Calvin Moore was a dedicated man that selflessly 
served his community and country, and I am honored to pay tribute to 
him before this body today. His lifetime of service is an incredible 
model for all Americans. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family 
and friends during this time of bereavement.
