                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2005

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Hensarling and I rise to honor the 
memory of the late Honorable Glenn Box. Glenn served his fellow 
citizens with distinction on the Dallas City Council from 1989 to 1995. 
We are greatly saddened by his passing, as Dallas lost one of its 
strongest advocates to cancer.
  Glenn passed away from a rare form of cancer, mesothelioma, on 
February 17, 2005 at Baylor University Medical Center. We mourn the 
loss of such a great civic leader for the people of Dallas. At the age 
of thirty, Glenn had already been elected to the Dallas City Council, 
and would serve as the chairman of the Public Safety Committee from 
1991 to 1995. Upon his retirement from public service, Glenn joined the 
Coca-Cola Company and most recently served as a regional vice-president 
for Coke sales throughout eleven Midwestern states.
  Glenn was born and raised in Dallas, graduating from W.T. White High 
School and then attended Southern Methodist University for his 
undergraduate degree. After earning his law degree from the University 
of Texas at Austin, he returned to Dallas to join the law firm of 
Jackson & Walker.
  In addition to his loving wife and mother, Glenn is survived by his 
two sons and his brother and sister. We join the Box family in honoring 
the memory of Glenn's life and his tireless service to improving the 
lives of the citizens of Dallas.
