        TRIBUTE TO RETIRING WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY PRESIDENT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 6, 2002

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to pay tribute 
to Colonel (Ret.) Jerry Brown, former President of Wentworth Military 
Academy, for the service he has given to the academy for the last seven 
years.

  Colonel Brown's time as president of the academy has been marked with 
many accomplishments. Some of Colonel Brown's achievements include 
orchestrating the building of new barracks and an accreditation visit 
by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. 
Brown was also instrumental in forming the Wentworth Foundation, 
created to gather funds for capital improvements at the school.
  As he prepares to spend more time with his family, I know that 
Members of the House will join me in expressing appreciation for his 
dedication to Wentworth Military Academy.
