                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. William F. Harvey 
who donates his optometric services to the Paiute Tribe Health 
Services, and the Las Vegas Blind Center.
  Dr. William F. Harvey was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 2, 
1948. Dr. Harvey attended Western High School in 1967 before finishing 
his undergraduate education at Brigham Young University in 1972. Dr. 
Harvey graduated at the top of his class at Illinois College of 
Optometry in 1976 and moved back to Las Vegas to start his private 
practice.
  Dr. Harvey works hard in his private practice and is a devout 
husband, father of three, and grandfather of six; however, he still 
reserves time to serve the community. Since 1993 Dr. Harvey has donated 
his time to the Las Vegas Blind Center and continues to serve the 
Paiute Tribe Health and Human Services, giving their patients free 
optometric care.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Dr. William F. Harvey on the 
floor of the House. I commend him for his continued service to the 
residents of southern Nevada.
