                          HONORING CONNI LOGAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a solemn heart that I would like 
to acknowledge the loss of a valuable member of our community. Conni 
Logan suffered from a brief illness that took her life on August 13, 
2001, at the age of 59. Conni was a loving wife and mother who had a 
deep passion for the arts and dedicated her life to teaching that 
appreciation to others.
  Conni was born in 1942 as one of seven children in a family that 
valued and encouraged diversity. She went on to graduate from college 
with a degree in psychology after which she received master's degrees 
in art history and exhibition design.
  Although living in Santa Fe, New Mexico when she passed, she had made 
valuable contributions to the State of Colorado as an educator. In 
1993, she was a Program Director at the Aspen Campus of the Colorado 
Mountain College, Center for Excellence in Arts. In addition to 
curating 30 art exhibits during her time there, she also developed and 
instructed art history and principles in art courses using the 
college's telecourse system. Her move to Santa Fe gave her the 
opportunity to work at the Santa Fe Children's Museum and the Conlon 
Siegel Galleries.
  Mr. Speaker, Conni made valuable contributions to the education of 
our community and through her creativity and leadership gave many a 
greater appreciation for the arts. Conni Logan will be remembered as a 
woman who saw the beauty of the world in a way that most of us do not 
experience. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to those close 
to Conni, as she will surely be missed.
