  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Gerald Rogers Peters, 
who passed away on September 25, 1997. Gerald served in the Army for 
more than 25 years and was a master sergeant when he retired. During 
his military career, Gerald served in World War II, the Korean war and 
Vietnam. After retiring from the service, Gerald worked at Titanium 
Metals Inc. until retiring from there also.
  Gerald has known as a kind and caring man. He was the father of nine 
children and enjoyed taking care of them along with his nieces and 
nephews. He had a gentle soul and was loved by all who knew him.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to pay my last respects to a 
man who gave so much

be missed by all whose lives he touched. I am honored to have 
represented him and proud to call him a constituent.
