                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 7, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Hugh King for receiving the 2013 Golden Mayor's Award for Excellence.
   This award recognizes extraordinary contributions to the Golden 
community and is presented to Hugh King, M.D., PhD., for his fourteen-
year humanitarian career as co-founder of Namlo International, an 
organization that enables education and a better quality of life to 
citizens of Nepal, Nicaragua, the USA, and Spain through five 
programs--school construction, school improvement, scholarships, sister 
schools, and sustainable development. Hugh, a full professor of 
Chemical and Biological Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, 
and his co-founder and wife Magda, the first woman from Spain to reach 
the summit of an 8000 meter peak, founded Namlo with the belief that 
the key to success is a focus on helping communities take 
responsibility for their schools.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Hugh King for this well 
deserved recognition by Mayor Marjorie Sloan and the City of Golden. 
Thank you for your dedication to our community.
