                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 8, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, it is a considerable privilege for me to 
rise and pay honor to the career of Mr. Linwood Warwick. Aside from 
being a loving husband, and a caring father of six children, Mr. 
Warwick was a dedicated musical educator who mentored and inspired his 
students for nearly a half-century.
  Lin Warwick is a native of Colorado's San Luis Valley, an area in 
which he had a profound impact teaching music for forty-seven years at 
Alamosa, Centauri and Sangre de Cristo Schools. His quality as a 
musical instructor is illustrated by the countless trophies his bands 
have been awarded throughout the years. 36 marching trophies in all. 
The state of Colorado recently inducted Warwick into the Colorado Music 
Educators Association Hall of Fame as a token of appreciation for his 
enduring legacy as an excellent music educator in the San Luis Valley. 
Though Mr. Warwick has retired from teaching music, his passion for the 
art still burns strong as he still participates as a member in multiple 
bands.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been an honor for me to stand and acknowledge the 
career of Mr. Linwood Warwick. A man who chose to give so much back to 
the community he was raised in; the school districts in the San Luis 
Valley will ever be indebted to an educator who strived to bring the 
most out of everyone he worked with.
