                        HONORING ALLEN NOSSAMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 6, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
honor San Juan County Judge Allen Nossaman, as he celebrates his 
retirement. After 16 years of service, Judge Nossaman has stepped down 
from his position in Silverton, Colorado. It is my pleasure to 
recognize the many years of dedicated work that Judge Nossaman provided 
to his community.
  Allen Nossaman has decided that, due to health reasons, he will 
resign from his position as a judge and move to Durango, Colorado, 
where he will work on his writings of the history of San Juan County. 
Judge Nossaman has long been a champion of preserving Colorado's 
history and its historical landmarks. While in Durango, Allan will help 
expand the San Juan County's current three-volume history that he has 
already penned, preserving Colorado's past.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to pay tribute to Judge Nossaman for 
his contributions to the Western Slope of Colorado. Allen Nossaman's 
service as a judge and commitment to preserving Colorado's history 
deserves the praise and recognition of this body. I wish Allen the best 
and send my warmest regards to him and his family.

                          ____________________
