  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Harold 
Lee Meyer who passed away on December 14, 2006.
  Born in Paullina, Iowa on January 1, 1927, Harold settled in 
Littleton, Colorado with his wife of 55 years, Natalie Meyer. After 
spending his career in the savings and loan industry, Harold used his 
retirement to give back to his community. Harold was active in both 
local and state pursuits, having served as a member of the Denver 
General Hospital Board and as director of Good Shepherd Lutheran Home 
of the West. As a member of the Littleton City Council and as mayor of 
the City of Littleton, Harold enriched and improved countless lives. 
His other philanthropic pursuits included being a member of DRCOG, a 
volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a driver for the 
Red Cross, and being an active member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the life and legacy of Harold Lee 
Meyer. His professional success and dedication to community should 
serve as an example to us all. Harold dedicated his life to enriching 
the lives of those around him. I applaud all his efforts; he was truly 
a distinguished humanitarian and will be profoundly missed.
