                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
recognize an exceptional man, Danny Collins. Despite challenges, Danny 
overcame many of them and for 11 years has been a skillful weaver at 
Mountain Valley Textiles. I have known Danny for over 30 years and can 
attest to what a fine individual he is. Danny's work ethic and his 
strength stand out in our community. Although Danny now faces another 
challenge with the loss of his beloved father, Bud, Danny will pull 
through. Danny's family is strong and supportive and very, very proud 
of Danny.
  The retiring of Denver Bronco's great quarterback, John Elway, 
motivated Danny to create several mementos to say good-bye to John 
Elway and sent them to John's family. All of the items have the number 
seven on them and are orange, blue and white. Danny was proud of his 
work in honor of Mr. Elway.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say thank you to Danny Collins, 
a wonderful human being. His talent and love of life brings him many 
admirers.
