  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 
contributions of an outstanding member of our Williamson County 
community, Mr. T. Vance Little. A descendent of pioneer settlers, 
graduate of Vanderbilt Law School, and member of several historic, 
preservation, and patriotic organizations, Mr. Little has dedicated 
himself to providing leadership in his community.
  This distinguished citizen is a noted author, journalist, and host of 
local historic television programs. He is the historian for the city of 
Brentwood, chairman of the Friends of the Williamson County Museum, 
secretary of the Williamson County Records Commission, and a member of 
Brentwood United Methodist Church. He has also sponsored a monthly 
program on local history at the Martin Center for the past 10 years.
  Mr. Little has received many honors including the Heritage Foundation 
``Patron of the Year,'' the Williamson County Historical Society 
``Volunteer of the Year,'' the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce ``Citizen 
of the Year,'' and the Leadership Brentwood ``Civic Award.'' Recently, 
in 2006, he received the prestigious ``Living Legend'' award from the 
Williamson County Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. Little has reminded us that we have no more important obligation 
to our children and to ourselves than preserving our history. We

appreciate all that he has done and thank him for the exceptional 
example that he has provided for others. I ask that you please join me 
in honoring Mr. T. Vance Little.
