  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize two of Colorado's remarkable citizens, Bob and Shirley 
Shelton of Eagle, CO. In addition to compiling an unparalleled resume 
of volunteerism, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton have exemplified the notion of 
public service and civic duty in the community of Eagle.
  Mr. and Mrs. Shelton moved to Eagle in 1948 where the couple held 
various jobs both in the public and private sectors. Bob served seven 
terms on the Eagle town board and a

stint as the community's mayor. Shirley's work consisted largely of 
secretarial services for the school superintendent and the Selective 
Service.
  Bob and Shirley, now retired, spend much of their time volunteering 
or actively participating in community projects. Bob works throughout 
the summer as the manager of the Eagle Regional Visitor Information 
Center. During the winter, he serves as the ambassador at the Eagle 
County Regional Airport--helping travelers with all their information 
needs.
  This spring, the couple was selected as the Eagle Flight Days Parade 
grand marshals, an honor given to them in recognition of their 
outstanding services to the Eagle community. The two led off the parade 
on July 3.
  Mr. and Mrs. Shelton's contributions and exceptional services to the 
community of Eagle are to be commended. The dedication and hard work 
they demonstrate is remarkable. The state of Colorado is privileged to 
have such outstanding citizens.
