                         Thursday, July 8, 2004

  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of a 
distinguished citizen and friend to many in my Congressional District, 
Mr. Clifford Barnett Crowley, who passed away on July 6 of an extended 
illness at the age of 92.
  Mr. Crowley was a native of Houston County, Alabama where he and his 
wife, Donnie Vernell Wilkinson, established a family farm. Crowley was 
well known for his ingenuity and keen ability to adjust to change in 
agriculture. This skill earned him state wide distinction as Alabama 
Peanut Farmer of the Year in 1969 and 1970.
  Crowley was an active member of Pine Hill Free Will Baptist Church in 
Dothan, serving as a Sunday School teacher, deacon and trustee. He was 
also much beloved for his participation in a local musical group which 
entertained fellow seniors, family and friends.
  I offer my condolences to Mr. Crowley's wife and extended family. We 
have lost a valued and much respected member of our community.
