                      HONORING DONALD W. CAMPBELL

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to respectfully request that 
my colleagues join me in congratulating Donald W. Campbell for being 
named the National Parks Conservation Association 2007 recipient of the 
Steven Tyng Mather Award.
  Don Campbell has been a tireless advocate and ambassador for Harper's 
Ferry National Historic Park for nearly thirty years. When he arrived 
at Harper's Ferry as Superintendent, Don was a self-described ``peace, 
love, and let's everybody get along,'' laid-back Californian. Since 
then, he has forged relationships of mutual trust and understanding 
with the communities that surround his park and has touched many with 
his strong values and steady leadership.
  Don's service, leadership, and advocacy for the protection of 
Harper's Ferry National Historic Park exemplify what it means to be a 
steward of America's national parks. For more than twenty years, the 
National Parks Conservation Association has proudly presented the 
annual Steven Tyng Mather Award to a National Park Service employee who 
has worked tirelessly to protect our national parks. His contribution 
to the Harper's Ferry National Historic Park will always be appreciated 
and I am pleased that he is being recognized for his service to our 
community.
  In closing, I want to thank my colleagues for joining me in 
recognizing Donald W. Campbell as the 2007 Steven Tyng Mather Award 
winner for his dedication to protecting this scenic and historic jewel.
