                      Thursday, February 16, 2006

  Mrs. MUSGRAVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the public 
service and remarkable community involvement of Mrs. Sally Fox.
  Born in Denver, CO, to school teachers, Mrs. Fox devoted much of her 
life to public schools in Colorado. In addition to other volunteer 
efforts, Mrs. Fox served as president of

the Burlington Elementary School PTA in Longmont.
  Mrs. Fox also dedicated much of her life as a local grassroots 
activist. She served as secretary for House District 52, as well as 
secretary for Colorado Representative Ron Strahle. Mrs. Fox also served 
as a Precinct Committee person since 1979 and has been a delegate to 
Fourth Congressional District and State assemblies.
  In addition to her grassroots involvement and volunteerism, Mrs. Fox 
currently manages the Oak Ridge Federal Government Office Building in 
Fort Collins. She has also worked as mall manager at The Square and as 
manager of maintenance at the Market Place, both in Fort Collins.
  Beyond her community involvement, it is her love and devotion to her 
family that is most impressive. April 2006 will mark Sally's 43rd 
wedding anniversary to her husband, Charles. She is the proud mother of 
a son and daughter, and a grandmother of three. Mrs. Fox has a special 
appreciation for family heirlooms. She is especially proud of an 
African violet given to her by her mother. It has bloomed continuously 
since her mother's death in 1991.
  Mr. Speaker, the grassroots involvement and love of family by women 
like Mrs. Sally Fox is what makes our country great. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. Fox and her tremendous 
contributions to her community.
