                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in this body to pay tribute to Bob 
and Joan Weiss of Grand Junction, Colorado. Bob and Joan have met the 
needs of the health-conscious in their community for the last 25 years, 
and I am honored to recognize their achievements here today.
  Bob and Joan opened Sundrop Grocery Natural Foods Store in 1978 in a 
tiny 400-square-foot location with limited inventory. Over the years, 
however, the couple's reputation for providing the freshest organic and 
naturally prepared foods available grew, and so did their business. 
Today the Weiss's many customers don't have to compromise on any 
ingredients. Bob and Joan have ensured that their patrons have access 
to a wide variety of wholesome foods, from bulk foods and herbs to the 
freshest fruits and vegetables.
  Mr. Speaker, I am truly honored to recognize Bob and Joan Weiss 
today. Twenty-five years in the health food business, serving the Grand 
Junction community, is indeed an impressive accomplishment. I join in 
celebrating this milestone, and I congratulate them on their success.
