                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 21, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am privileged today to rise and pay 
tribute to Betty Jaramillo of Manzanola, Colorado, for her many years 
of dedication to the education of our youth at Manzanola Elementary 
School. As she celebrates her retirement, I would like to take this 
opportunity to recognize her career before this body of Congress and 
this nation.
  Betty has lived all her life in Manzanola. Her career at Manzanola 
Elementary School started when she attended the school there as a young 
child and student. Later, she returned to the school as an employee 
working as a migrant aide. It did not take long before she was promoted 
to work as the school secretary, a position in which she would spend 
the large majority of her tenure. For thirty-six years, she has been a 
staple in the school and the community by forming strong relationships 
with the students and other teachers. After spending well over three 
decades at the elementary school, she has chosen to spend more time 
with her family and hopes to travel with her husband.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Betty Jaramillo before this 
body of Congress and this nation. She has dedicated her life toward the 
betterment of others and I wish her all the best in her future 
endeavors.
