                      Thursday, November 17, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Gene Child for receiving the Golden Mayor's Award for Excellence.
   For decades, Gene has dedicated his time, resources, and abilities 
to preserving our community's history. He co-founded the Golden 
Landmarks Association to save the Astor House from demolition, assisted 
in converting the old Presbyterian Church into the Foothills Art 
Center, and helped move the Guy Hill School from the former Mitchell 
Elementary site to the Clear Creek History Park, then helped restore 
it. Even now he cares for the chickens that live in History Park. Gene 
and his beloved Arlone were part of the effort to create the 12th 
Street Historic District in 1984.
   I congratulate Gene for being the recipient of this well-deserved 
honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan, and I thank him for his continued 
commitment to the people and families he serves.
