                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Jack Quinn, the 
Director of the Housing Authority for the City of Pueblo, Colorado who 
has dedicated his life to improving the lives of others in need. It is 
a privilege to stand before this body of Congress and this Nation and 
recognize his outstanding record of service to the Pueblo community 
today.
  Jack grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Fairfield University 
with a degree in Chemistry, but his life took a different path when he 
took a volunteer job with the Catholic Diocese of Pueblo. After 
teaching grade school Jack found his passion working with the Pueblo 
Housing Authority where he has served with distinction for thirty-six 
years.
  Today, he and his sixty-five person staff manage 2,500 housing units 
in the city. They are responsible for renovating several Pueblo 
properties and turning them into affordable housing for low-income 
families, preserving historical landmarks in the process. In addition 
to his work with the Housing Authority, Jack spends his spare time 
serving on local boards such as the United Way, the Packard Foundation 
and the Boys Club.
  Mr. Speaker, Jack Quinn is a dedicated member of his community who 
has made a difference in the lives of his fellow citizens. I am honored 
to stand before this body of Congress and this Nation and recognize his 
exemplary record of service. Thanks for all your hard work Jack, and I 
wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
