                   TRIBUTE TO THE LATE TOM McCULLOCH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 3, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to ask that we all pause for a 
moment to remember a man who will live forever in the hearts of all 
that knew him and many that didn't. Tom McCulloch was a man who stood 
out to those around him. Friends remember him as a man who enjoyed the 
soil and the outdoors. But, most of all, he enjoyed his family and 
friends. His two sons, Kevin and Lance, and daughter Barbara brought 
him endless joy. He was known as a good and upright man.
  His history in the Durango, Colorado area dates all the way back to 
the 1890's when his family homesteaded the ranch that is known today as 
one of the most beautiful in the country. Working the land was his 
passion; a friend of his, Arthur Isgar, said it was his pride and joy. 
When he was not working on his ranch he was at his medical practice in 
Durango. Friends contend that no one knew medicine better than Tom.
  Tragically, when Dr. McCulloch was on his way to Egypt for a 
sightseeing trip, his plane EgyptAir flight 990 crashed just off the 
coast of Massachusetts.
  Tom McCulloch is someone who will be missed by many. His friends and 
family will miss the man that they all enjoyed spending time with. The 
rest of us will miss the man who exemplified the selflessness that so 
few truly possess. It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say goodbye to 
a great American. He will be greatly missed.
