Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dianna Coram of Montrose, Colorado, for her lifelong service to her community and to the State of Colorado. Born during the middle of a blizzard on her grandfather's farm, Dianna is a third-generation Coloradan who truly embodies the unique spirit of western Colorado. Dianna has been a loving wife for over 53 years to her husband, Don, with whom they have one son, Dee. Her husband, Don, noted to me that, of those 53 years, 35 of those years have been happy. Dianna spent most of her adult life building a reputation as a respected figure in Delta and Montrose, where she spends much of her time strengthening and improving her community through her dedicated volunteer work with nonprofits, the local school, county fairs, and organizations such as the Dolphin House, the Boys & Girls Club, Downtown Improvement Group, the San Juan Cancer Center, and currently serves as the Third Congressional District representative on the Colorado State Fair Board. Dianna's reputation reaches far beyond the West Slope. If you visit the Colorado State Capitol and mention the name Dianna Coram, legislators and staff from both sides of the aisle will give a smile and be quick to share a story of her. Dianna is always front and center in the political arena within the Third District, where she has been active since the young age of 14.…
