                         TRIBUTE TO ROSS WORLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS.  Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation today to pay tribute to Ross Worley of Durango, Colorado. 
Ross recently retired from Fort Lewis College, where he has directed 
the Audio/Visual Department in their John Reed Library since 1969. As 
Ross retires, I would like to recognize his many years of hard work and 
dedication to Fort Lewis College.
  Ross began his work with Fort Lewis College in 1969, starting first 
as an audio/visual student assistant before his eventual promotion as 
director of the department. In his 32 years as director at Fort Lewis, 
Ross supervised over 150 students, providing each of them with an 
exemplary model of commitment. An effective Audio/Visual department can 
provide students with interesting and exciting ways to present and 
engage information. With technology changing daily, Ross worked 
diligently to provide our youth with the educational tools to succeed 
in this demanding field.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this Congress and this 
nation to recognize the accomplishments of Ross Worley. His hard work 
and dedication provided Fort Lewis College with the ability to reach 
its students in unique, effective ways. Serving an educational 
institution is truly a noble calling and Ross's 32 years of service are 
truly a remarkable accomplishment. Thank you, Ross, for the service you 
have provided our community. I wish you all the best in your 
retirement.
