                    REMEMBERING THE LATE JOE LAPPIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 7, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the passing of my good 
friend and neighbor L.W. ``Joe'' Lappin. Joe passed away Monday, 
September 8, at the age of 85.
  Joe, as everyone knew him, was a pillar of our community, as a member 
of the Boulder City Elks Club, Archeo Nevada, and the 31ers Club. Joe 
was a fountain of knowledge about Boulder City for all of those, 
including myself, who wanted to know about the origins and traditions 
of this unique community. As a former Mayor of Boulder City, I knew 
that I could count on Joe to know what needed to be done, and more 
importantly, what I was doing wrong.
  Joe is survived by his wife Patricia, his two children and three 
grandchildren. We will all miss Joe, and I urge the members of this 
House to join me in expressing our condolences to his family and 
friends.
