                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 17, 2012

  Mr. GARDNER. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to congratulate Paul Gresky 
on reaching the 15,000 mark in teaching the Hunter Education 
Certification. His lifelong commitment to safety instruction is an 
invaluable contribution to Colorado citizens and the responsible 
upholding of our 2nd Amendment rights. We are grateful for the 
countless hours he has dedicated and the leadership Paul has exhibited 
to better Coloradans.
  Since 1974 Paul has educated our community in the safety necessary 
for firearm owners. In 1983 Paul began serving Coloradans as a Master 
Instructor, receiving Instructor of the Year in 1985. Now Paul has 
successfully reached the 15,000 mark. All of these are impressive 
feats. I commend Paul for his service, not only because of his work 
teaching the Hunter Education Certification, but also because of his 
work in educating the Boy Scouts of America who are involved in the 
National Rifle Association's marksmanship and home firearms 
responsibility programs
  Colorado is greatly indebted to individuals like Paul who continue to 
promote the safe and responsible use of firearms. I commend him for his 
work and wish him the best as he continues to make Colorado a safer 
place.
