                          HONORING DAN MALCOLM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2002

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dan Malcolm, 
editor of American Vineyard, on the 10th anniversary of his magazine's 
publication.
  Dan has been the patron of American Vineyard through its ten years 
and he has every reason to be proud of everything the magazine has 
accomplished. In 1993, the magazine became the highest grower 
circulated grape publication in the country. Then, in 1994, American 
Vineyard journeyed to Mexico, and the growers were both impressed by 
what they saw and encouraged to compete with the growers south of the 
border. The magazine hosted its first grape expo in Caruthers in 1996 
and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of support received, over a 
thousand growers attended. In 1998, Dan Malcolm was honored with the 
Viticulture & Enology Research Center's Grape Day Industry Award. 
American Vineyard published their biggest issue in 2001 and the 
magazine is still going strong.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dan Malcolm for his vision and 
unending pursuit of his ambitions. I invite my colleagues to join me in 
thanking him for his contribution to agriculture and the community and 
wishing him and his family continued success.
