  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I recognize 
the life and passing of Angeline Louise Samuelson of Glenwood Springs, 
Colorado. Mrs. Samuelson recently passed away in October and, as her 
family mourns their loss, I would like to pay tribute to her life and 
the exceptional way in which she lived it.
  Angie Samuelson was born in Osage City, Kansas, where she spent her 
childhood days living on her family's cattle ranch. She attended Osage 
City High School where she was a cheerleader and a member of the drama 
club. In 1940, Mrs. Samuelson graduated from nursing school and began 
working at Children's Hospital in Kansas City and at the University of 
Kansas Clinic. In 1944, she enlisted into the Naval Nursing Corps, and 
served in Coronado Island in San Diego, California through the duration 
of World War II.
  In 1947, Mrs. Samuelson, along with her husband John Samuelson, began 
publishing the Glenwood Post newspaper. Mr. and Mrs. Samuelson were co-
owners of the paper until they sold it in 1970, but Angeline stayed on 
with the paper until her retirement in 1982. Outside of work, Angie 
Samuelson stayed busy participating in a variety of volunteer 
activities. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, the 
Valley View Hospital Auxiliary, and was a volunteer at the Frontier 
Historical Museum. She also liked to spend her free time in the company 
of friends and family, skiing, playing golf, and traveling. With a 
personality befitting a nurse, Mrs. Samuelson was constantly helping 
people and freely gave her time and energy to those she in need.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great admiration that I recognize the life 
and passing of Angeline Louise Samuelson before this body of Congress 
and this nation for the outstanding contributions she made to the 
Glenwood Springs community throughout her life. I extend my sincere 
condolences to her husband John and their children Lauraine, Chris, 
David, Paul, and Glen. Angie Samuelson lived her life with enormous 
energy and passion, and her goodwill and optimism are an inspiration to 
all who knew her.
