                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2013

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Don MacDonald of 
Colorado. Don MacDonald recently retired as Manager of Energy Service 
from Molson Coors after a 42 year long career. After serving in 
Vietnam, Mr. MacDonald and his wife settled in Colorado in 1970, where 
he began his career with Coors in the Purchasing Department.
   Mr. MacDonald acquired his undergraduate degree from Cornell College 
in Eastern Iowa, where he studied geology. This degree gave him the 
expertise to support Coors' vertical integration efforts in energy 
exploration and production. Mr. MacDonald worked tirelessly for several 
decades on the energy side of Coors business and played a major role in 
the company's involvement with oil and gas operations, coal exploration 
and production and the promotion of energy efficiency.
   Most recently, Mr. MacDonald spearheaded the reclamation of one of 
Coors' coal properties. As he moves into retirement, Mr. MacDonald 
keeps busy with his involvement in the Evergreen Rodeo and his passion 
for the theater arts.
   Although, Mr. MacDonald's professional accomplishments alone are 
memorable, it is his personality and friendship that will be missed 
most by his colleagues. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Mr. 
MacDonald for all the incredible work he did for Molson Coors of 
Colorado.
