Aspinall , his son, Owen Aspinall , noted: "Hopefully the younger generation will take time to observe, perhaps to study, the life of this man and maybe one or two will use Dad ' s life as a model for his or her own life. Dad would like that, for underneath all his talents there was always the man that was the educator." In keeping with this noble expression, The Colorado Water Congress has created a special fund for the purpose of purchasing as many copies as possible of the book -- Wayne Aspinall : Mr. Chairman . As copies of the book are purchased, they will in turn be p)a:ed in 1T 'cries of Colorado high schools so that young people can, indeed, study the life of this great man. Heading up the fund raising campaign for the Aspinall books is Charles L. "Tommy" Thomson of Pueblo -- who, incidentally, was the WATER INTELLIGENCE: . ::PORT -3- .' E, 2, t', recipient of the Fourth Wayne N. Aspinall Water Leader of the Year Award. Aspinall Book Fund checks in any amount may be made out to the Colorado Water Congress with notation on the check that the money is to be used for the Aspinall Book Fund. CWC President Bob Thomason, on behalf of Cathedral Bluffs Shale Oil Company, made the first contribution ($500) to the Fund. It is Tommy Thomson's hope that the 800 copies of the Aspinall book still available can be purchased within the next few months so that they can be placed in school libraries in time for the 1984 Fall semester. 5TH ANNUAL The nomination form for the 1985 "Wayne N.
