                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 15, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ted Smith, of 
Trinidad Colorado. Mr. Smith recently taught at the Trinidad State 
Junior College, where he established the now famous aquaculture 
program. He is moving on to the Native Aquatic Species Restoration 
Facility in Alamosa, Colorado, and will surely bring the same culture 
of excellence and success.
  During his tenure with the Junior College, Mr. Smith mentored a 
number of students who have graduated to various wildlife jobs. Indeed, 
the Colorado Division of Wildlife currently employs many of his former 
students.
  Mr. Smith's new job with the NASRF allows him to expand his oversight 
of Colorado aquatic life. The Facility houses 14 endangered species and 
is one of the foremost organizations for aquatic research.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Ted Smith today. There is no 
doubt his success with Trinidad State Junior College will translate to 
the NASRF. His past and future contributions to Colorado's 
environmental research are immeasurable and he will continue his 
conservation efforts of wildlife across the state.
