                        Wednesday, June 16, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to rise to honor Stanley 
``Stan'' Cundiff for his dedication to Colorado as the City of 
Durango's Parks and Recreation maintenance supervisor. His forty-seven 
years of service are a testament to his tireless efforts to better his 
community. As he celebrates his retirement, let it be known that he 
leaves behind a terrific legacy to the people of Durango and the State 
of Colorado.
   Born and raised in Bayfield, Colorado, Stan began working for the 
Public Works Department in 1957. In 1963, he moved to the Parks and 
Recreation Department where he led the maintenance work until his 
recent retirement. The city regards Stan as the ``Grandfather'' of the 
Durango parks system. His leadership made it possible for Durango to 
build many of the city's current parks. To honor Stan upon his 
retirement, the city recently dedicated a park, ``Stan Cundiff Park''.
   Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to recognize Stanley Cundiff for his 
efforts throughout his career. His dedication and hard work for the 
Department of Parks and Recreation throughout the years is certainly 
commendable and worthy of recognition before this body of Congress and 
this nation. The dedication of a park in his honor shows a community 
proud of his work. I wish to thank Stan for his work and wish him the 
best in his future endeavors.
