 2000 COLORADO BUSINESS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES, MR. DICK ROBINSON AND 
                           MR. EDDIE ROBINSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize two inductees for the 2000 Colorado Business Hall of Fame, 
Mr. Dick Robinson and Mr. Eddie Robinson.
  Jointly produced by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and Junior 
Achievement, the Colorado Business Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding 
Colorado businesses and civic leaders from the past and present, 
publicizes the contributions of business leaders to our community and 
promotes the importance and value of the private enterprise system.
  Best known for their leadership of Robinson Dairy, a major food 
processor and distributor in Colorado for more than 114 years, the 
Robinsons have left their mark beyond the day-to-day operations of 
their plan. The family-run business is a leading role model for 
community development and betterment programs.
  The Robinsons serve on boards and committees promoting economic 
development, medical and health care issues and cultural improvement in 
communities across Colorado. Dick is currently a board member for the 
Columbia/HealthONE, Children's Hospital, Ocean Journey and the Denver 
Art Museum and chair of the Rose Community Foundation. Eddie is active 
on the Metropolitan State College of Denver Foundation and has chaired 
the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine 
Board of Directors, St. Joseph Hospital Foundation Board and the Denver 
Zoological Foundation Board of Trustees.
  The Robinson brothers have been honored repeatedly for their 
involvement in the community. Being inducted into the Colorado Business 
Hall of Fame is another award to add to the vast collection. Clearly, 
it is a fitting tribute to two eminently deserving individuals.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to congratulate two 
assets of the Denver Community, Dick Robinson and Eddie Robinson, for 
being inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame.
