Business Hall of Fame announces five honorees

Five business leaders were named Thursday to be inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame in February.
The Hall of Fame is a joint project of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain Inc.
The inductees are:
Samuel Addoms, who retired in 2002 as CEO of Frontier Airlines and who previously worked with more than 15 early-stage companies.
Louis "Lou" Clinton Jr., a pilot who became the first dealer for Cessna aircraft. He also was key in establishing what's now Centennial Airport.
Harry Frampton III, a real estate developer, served as president of Vail Associates in the early 1980s. He is now developing properties in Vail and Beaver Creek and in California and Utah.
J.K. Mullen, who died in 1929, operated the largest flour mill in the state. During an economic panic in 1893, Mullen pushed the state toward agriculture as its economic base instead of mining.
William Vollbracht, who moved to Colorado in 1960, started Land Title Company of Colorado seven years later. Today the business is one of the largest privately owned title companies in the United States.
The induction ceremony will be from 6-9 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Denver Marriott City Center in downtown Denver.
