[Congressional Record Volume 149, Number 121 (Friday, September 5, 2003)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E1725-E1726] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PAYING TRIBUTE TO DAVE HOART ______ HON. SCOTT McINNIS of colorado in the house of representatives Friday, September 5, 2003 Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before this body of Congress and this nation to honor the career of a great man from my district. After twenty years of service, Dave Hoart, of Texas Creek, Colorado, is retiring from his post at the Division of Wildlife. Dave's invaluable contributions to the community will be missed, and I stand before you here today to honor his service. Dave began his position as the Custer County District Wildlife Manager in 1983. Selflessly, Dave attributes all of his success over [[Page E1726]] the years to the community and not to his own actions. He has seen a great deal of change in the region during his term, serving as the person residents call when they have a question about any new developments in wildlife patterns. During Dave's tenure, the area has been transformed from a primarily small agricultural community to a larger, less-rural community. Mr. Speaker, it is people like Dave, and their willingness to dedicate so much of their lives to the betterment of the nation, that make America so great. His excellent rapport with the community and his expertise will be extremely difficult to replace. I wish him the best with all of his future endeavors. ____________________
