                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 24, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation to pay tribute to an outstanding citizen from my district. 
Dorothy Savage of Ordway, Colorado has tirelessly worked to promote 
literacy and the importance of education in Colorado. She is a valued 
citizen, and I am honored to share her story here today.
  A former teacher, Dorothy knows the importance of educating our 
children. Dorothy volunteers her time to teach elementary school 
children the joy of reading. She also encourages other seniors to 
volunteer to tutor children. At 93 years young, Dorothy was recently 
crowned the Colorado State Fair Silver Queen for 2003, a recognition 
honoring her courageous outlook on life and youthful spirit. Dorothy 
has dedicated her reign to promoting literacy among children.
  Mr. Speaker, Dorothy Savage has selflessly taken the attention that 
has been given to her and focused it on a cause that is near to her 
heart. She has announced that she will dedicate her reign, and the 
attention that comes with it, to promoting literacy. For years, Dorothy 
has attempted to share the joy and wonder of reading and writing with 
the children of her local community. For her enthusiasm and tireless 
work, I am honored to join with my colleagues in thanking Dorothy 
Savage. I wish her the best of luck in the future.
