[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 7] [Senate] [Page 10044] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]REMEMBERING CHARLIE MEYERS Mr. BENNET. Madam President, today I wish to honor the memory of Charlie Meyers. For decades, Charlie Meyers spoke up for Colorado's rivers and wildlife on the pages of the Denver Post. An award-winning outdoors writer and dedicated conservationist, Meyers shined a light on the threats to our State's treasured mountains and fishing holes as only a true outdoorsman could. In his final column, Meyers told his readers about ``Fairplay Beach'' in Park County, a ``minor marvel,'' as he called it, ``filled with angling delights . . . threatened by a variety of perils that demand attention, and soon.'' Meyers was a native of Sicily Island, LA, and a graduate of Louisiana State University. He first joined the Post staff in 1966, and after a brief departure, he returned to stay in 1971. Meyers was inducted into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame in 1993 and won the International Ski Federation's FIS Journalist Award in 1999. He was the fourth American to win it. A gifted wordsmith, Meyers was able to illustrate the beauty of Colorado and express just how much that beauty meant to him and to all who cherish the outdoors. And yet it would be difficult to put in words just how much he meant to Colorado's outside spaces and to their protection. Few of us will be able to match his energy and passion, but in his honor, all of us should try. ____________________
