                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2004

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I come before you today with the greatest 
sadness. When unexpected tragedies occur to exemplary individuals, it 
is a blow to the community as a whole. One such tragedy cost the life 
of an individual from my home district, Marie Machell Milliken. She was 
killed on Highway 84 near Telluride in a car accident. Her husband of 
52 years was with her at the time and survived the accident.
  Mrs. Milliken was born November 21, 1926, in Barre, Vermont. She met 
her husband while attending college at Yale University. Mrs. Milliken 
was a professor of nursing, vice president of academic affairs at 
Loretto Heights College and the director of nursing at Regis 
University. She received the Distinguished Alumna Award for the class 
of 1951. She also attended and matriculated from Colby College and the 
University of Denver.
  She is survived by her husband Gordon, their children Doug, Karen, 
David, Anne and one grandchild.
  Mr. Speaker, my thoughts and prayers are with the Milliken family, 
Marie will be deeply missed.
