  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, it is important for me to stand in tribute 
and praise the ongoing educational career of Anna Mae Rael-Lindsay. 
Mrs. Rael-Lindsay continues to enlighten and enrich the lives of others 
through her relentless dedication to her students, Trinidad State 
Junior College, and southern Colorado.
  Anna Mae Rael-Lindsay was born and raised in the San Luis Valley, and 
her large tightly knit family put a premium on education and hard work. 
After graduating from Adams State College, Mrs. Rael-Lindsay started in 
Rocky Ford Public Schools, and never looked back from there. Never 
losing sight of her roots, it was not long before Mrs. Rael-Lindsay was 
back in the San Luis Valley, teaching at the Trinidad State Junior 
College's Alamosa Campus. Anna Mae Real-Lindsay is now the director of 
the learning resource center at TSJC's Alamosa Campus, which 
specializes in adult basic education, general education development 
tests, and English as a second language classes. This allows her the 
chance to stress the importance of a complete education to countless 
students who might not otherwise understand all the opportunities that 
a degree provides. For her decades of hard work, Anna Mae Rael-Lindsay 
has rightfully earned the honor of Trinidad State's Employee of the 
Year.
  Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Rael-Lindsay is an inspirational educator who has 
dedicated her professional life to improving the lives of those around 
her, and the livelihood of her community. It has been an honor to rise 
in tribute to the scholarly career of Anna Mae Rael-Lindsay.
