SCOTT McINNIS of colorado in the house of representatives Thursday, September 4, 2003 Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this body of Congress and this nation today to pay tribute to Vi and Ozzie Sis of Fruita, Colorado. This remarkable couple is being recognized by the City of Fruita for the hard work and dedication they have given to the community. As Vi and Ozzie receive this recognition, I am honored to speak of their contributions and accomplishments here today. Arriving in Fruita in 1985, these fine Coloradans quickly realized that they wanted to be involved in community activities. With a lot of hard work, the couple quickly became two of the area's best community servants. They helped bring a new Dinosaur Museum to Fruita, helped to establish a new civic center, and were instrumental in the creation of the Highway 340 corridor. In addition to these contributions, Vi spent over a decade on the Fruita City Council, serving several years as the Mayor Pro Tem. As Ozzie and Vi prepare for their move to Colorado Springs, they have begun to think about volunteering in their new town. Their friends claim that if something needs to be done, they will be more than happy to do it. Mr. Speaker, I join with my colleagues here today in applauding Vi and Ozzie's civic-mindedness and in recognizing their hard work on behalf of our community. This recognition to the couple for the work they do in their community is long overdue, and I am proud to bring their achievements to the attention of this body of Congress today. Congratulations and thanks again, Vi and Ozzie, for your many years of hard work on behalf of Fruita and the State of Colorado. ____________________
