  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to pause a 
moment in remembrance of a great man, and a great friend. John W. 
Anthony passed away on March 9, at the age of 81. John has been 
associated with one type of ranch or another since the time of his 
birth. For 30 years John owned a ranch in West Creek, Colorado. Then in 
1950, his family purchased a ranch on Divide Creek near Rifle, 
Colorado.

  John belonged to the Manitou Park Grange and the Divide Creek Grange. 
He also took time to be involved with the Masonic Lodge and took an 
active part in the Teller Co., Growers Organization. He was also a 
member of the Cattleman's Association on the Western Slope of Colorado.
  After he retired from ranching, John enjoyed helping the area sheep 
men in protecting their sheep from predators and joined the Colorado 
Trappers Association.
  John is survived by his wife, Emma Jean, their four children, Jean 
Ann, Kenneth, Susan, and Mike, 10 grandchildren, and four great-grand 
children, and a sister Mary Jane Hunter.
  Mr. Speaker, Western Colorado has lost a great husband, father, grand 
father, friend and neighbor. That is why I would like this body to take 
a moment and recognize John W. Anthony.
