                      Wednesday, November 15, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend Larry 
``Doc'' Moses for his service to his country and his community.
  Larry was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa and is a product of the 
Des Moines School System. After studying at Tarkio College in Tarkio, 
Missouri and Drake University in Des Moines, Larry decided to serve his 
country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. Following his 
tour of duty in the Marine Corps, Larry obtained his Bachelor's and 
Master's degrees in History and Education from Utah State University in 
Logan, Utah.
  Following the completion of his Master's program, Larry obtained a 
teaching position in Idaho Falls, Idaho. After one year, Larry moved to 
Las Vegas where he pursued and earned his Doctorate in Education from 
UNLV in 1983, and entered educational administration. His first 
educational administration post was as a principal in Yerington, 
Nevada, followed by a vice-principalship in Moapa Valley, other 
assistant principal positions in Las Vegas, and culminating in the 
principal's position at Moapa Valley High School, where he opened the 
new school in 1993.
  Larry retired in 1997 and immediately became involved in the 
historical restoration business. His perseverance and determination led 
to the restoration of the Old Logandale School, the old Overton 
Gymnasium, and the old Overton Hospital--all of which are now being 
(re)used as valuable community resources. Larry has also been an active 
member of Rotary Club and serves on the Overton Power District Board of 
Trustees and is a perennial part of the annual Clark County Fair 
operations.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor my good friend Larry ``Doc'' Moses. 
His years of service to his nation and community are admirable. I 
applaud his efforts and with him the best in his future endeavors.
