  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor to rise in tribute of 
Dr. Robert Pollard, for being recognized in ``Great Stories on Halls in 
Walls,'' a program that he founded.
  The Great Stories on Halls in Walls project is a great way to 
appreciate and share the lives and stories of the alumni, faculty, 
staff and friends of Adams State College. Funds raised from the 
donations for these dedications are given to the Adams State College 
Foundation to provide active leadership, direction and expertise in 
college fund-raising efforts.
  The first member in his family to attend college, Pollard attended 
Adams State and returned to Alamosa after serving in the U.S Army in 
the Colorado National Guard Unit. Mr. Pollard later received his 
doctorate degree from Stanford University.
  Mr. Speaker, Dr. Robert Pollard is a man who should be recognized for 
his outstanding and generous character, which is worthy of praise and 
admiration.
