                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to recognize a great leader in the Mancos, Colorado 
community. After 10 years of service on the Mancos Library Board of 
Trustees, Terry Marsden is retiring from his position as President. In 
his five years in that post, Terry has been a dynamic force in the 
rapid evolution of the Mancos Public Library. As we recognize Terry's 
retirement, I commend him for his dedication and leadership within the 
community.
  Terry Marsden's leadership has been an influential factor in the 
numerous enhancements made to the Mancos Public Library over the past 
10 years. In his first few years on the Board of Trustees, Terry helped 
oversee the implementation of an automated circulation catalog system. 
During his time as President of the Board, Terry was also instrumental 
in providing for the renovation of the building, hiring additional 
staff and increasing the library's hours of operation, all in an 
attempt to make the Mancos Public Library more user friendly. He also 
insured the addition of six patron computers in order to allow library 
patrons vital internet access.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Terry Marsden before you 
today for his commitment to his country. Terry embodies the spirit of 
public service and altruism that makes our communities strong. I 
congratulate Terry for his positive impact upon the Mancos community 
and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
