                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 12, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I now 
recognize Jan Jacobs of Creede, Colorado. After 29 years of dedication 
to education and long hours of planning as a teacher of History, 
Geography, and Government, Ms. Jacobs has retired. I would like to 
thank her for her commitment to the youth of Creede and for her 
involvement in the Creede community.
  After graduating from Western State, Ms. Jacobs taught for three 
years in Nebraska before making Creede her home. Jan Jacobs not only 
taught, but she cared and was dedicated to her students. She served as 
a sponsor for trips to Washington, D.C. and annual trips to Mesa Verde. 
Trips to Denver and various other projects were made possible through 
her efforts.
  Ms. Jan Jacobs touched the lives of countless individuals through her 
work in education. Students undoubtedly gained much and benefitted 
greatly from her expertise and kindness. As students, parents, and 
community members say farewell to this much-respected and loved 
teacher, I would like to wish her well as she enters a new era of her 
life, and congratulate her on a remarkable career of dedication and 
service.
