                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 20, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to a dedicated volunteer from Montrose, Colorado. Dennis 
Devor is a humble and caring individual who commits his free time to 
the betterment of his community. His enthusiasm for serving others 
resonates throughout Colorado. I would like to join my colleagues here 
today in recognizing Dennis, and his tremendous service to the Montrose 
community before this body of Congress.
   Dennis was recently awarded the prestigious ``9Who Care'' Award 
given out by a Denver television station to honor unsung heroes in the 
community. Dennis' primary occupation is in the law, but he makes time 
before and after work to be involved in charitable organizations like 
the Montrose Education Foundation, Salvation Army, Montrose Rotary Club 
and the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to those organizations, Dennis 
is also an active member of United Methodist Church. Dennis always 
makes volunteer work an important priority in his life. His tireless 
dedication often results in early mornings and late nights spent 
working to better the lives of those in need.
   Mr. Speaker, Dennis Devor is a hard-working individual who has 
enriched the lives of many members of the Montrose community. He 
demonstrates a passion for public service that sets a fine example for 
all Americans. Dennis serves with enthusiasm and commitment, and he 
certainly deserves the recognition of this body of Congress and this 
nation. Thanks for your hard work, Dennis, and congratulations on a 
well-deserved award.
