                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
congratulate Susan Lohr, on her recent award. Susan is one of two 
recipients of the Cranmer Award, sponsored by Colorado Open Lands. 
Susan is the co-founder of Gunnison Ranchland Conservation Legacy, an 
organization that works to preserve family-owned ranchland in southern 
Colorado. Together with ranchers and community leaders the organization 
is attempting to preserve and protect over 20,000 acres of land.
  Susan is no stranger when it comes to conserving farm and ranchland. 
She is currently president of a private land conservation consulting 
firm, Lohr Associates. She also recently retired as Director of the 
Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, where she worked for over a 
decade. Susan serves the Legacy in the capacity of Founding Director 
and Board Member Secretary/Treasurer.
  Susan has worked very hard to ensure that family ranchlands are 
protected throughout southern Colorado. This dedication has helped a 
great number of people preserve thousands of acres of land and for that 
she deserves the recognition of this body. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of 
the State of Colorado and the US Congress I congratulate Susan on this 
prestigious and well-deserved award.
  Congratulations!

                          ____________________
