             REMEMBERING A LIBRARY VISIONARY, FRANK BARKMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask that we pause for a 
moment to remember the life of a great advocate for the City of Pueblo, 
Mr. Frank Barkman.
  Mr. Barkman and his wife, Marie Lamb Barkman, have been financial and 
personal pillars of the Pueblo Library District. They donated funds to 
construct several libraries, including the Frank I. Lamb Branch and the 
Frank and Marie Barkman Branch.
  Frank and Marie were the leading advocates for Pueblo's library 
system over the years and were active in the community in many other 
ways. Mr. Barkman served as the President of the Library Board for more 
than twelve years. He was also active in Rotary and was a supporter of 
the YMCA and the El Pueblo Boys Ranch.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to pay tribute to a 
man that has given so much to his community. The City of Pueblo will 
miss his friendship, leadership and service.
