                      TRIBUTE TO MARSHALL TRIMBLE

 Mr. McCAIN. Madam President, on behalf of all Arizonans, I 
want to thank our State's official historian, Marshall Trimble, for his 
years of dedicated teaching service at Scottsdale Community College, 
from which he is retiring this year. Marshall Trimble is a true Arizona 
original. Born in Mesa and raised along historic Route 66 in Ash Fork, 
Marshall's infectious enthusiasm for Arizona's history and culture led 
him to begin teaching classes on the history of the southwest at 
Scottsdale's Coronado High School in 1969. For the next five decades, 
Marshall taught, sang and wrote about our State and its colorful 
historical characters, keeping alive our pioneering Old West spirit for 
generations of Arizonans. In 1997, Governor Fife Symington bestowed 
Marshall with the title Official State Historian, an honor continued by 
each successive Governor. Arizona owes Marshall a deep debt of 
gratitude for his many contributions to our State, and we look forward 
to his continuing to entertain and educate us for many years to 
come.
