to honor the accomplishments of Robert Duncan of the San Juan

[[Page 7783]]

Technical School located in Denver, Colorado. Robert has dedicated his 
life to passing on his extensive knowledge and experience, providing 
many students with otherwise unthinkable opportunities. I wish to take 
this opportunity to acknowledge Robert's dedication and commitment to 
education before this body of Congress and this Nation.
  Robert is known for his expertise in automotive technology and his 
dedication to his students. His recent award recognizes Robert's 
ability as a teacher, particularly emphasizing the dramatic increases 
in enrollment in Robert's courses and his success recruiting women into 
his automotive technology program. Furthermore, Robert has won acclaim 
for his unique talent for welcoming special education students and 
helping them excel in the program. Great teachers, like Robert, draw on 
their own practical experience in order to bring the real world into 
the classroom. Recently, the State Board of Community Colleges and 
Occupational Education named Robert faculty member of the year.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand today and recognize Robert Duncan 
before this Congress and this Nation. We should all express our deepest 
gratitude to teachers like Robert. They make an enormous difference one 
life at a time, providing countless students with opportunity and hope. 
Teaching truly is a noble calling, and Robert has answered that call.
