           HONORING THE MEMORY OF DONALD CRUMPTON MOSLEY, SR.

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JO BONNER

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 7, 2007

  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Donald 
Crumpton Mosley, Sr., former dean of the business college of the 
University of South Alabama. A consummate educator who brought out the 
best in his students and colleagues, Dr. Mosley devoted his life to 
education.
  Don Mosley spent 10 years at the University of South Alabama as its 
business college's second dean, achieving accreditation from the 
Association of Advance Collegiate Schools of Business before the school 
was even 10 years old. He left the school in 1982 to pursue teaching 
and consulting opportunities and returned in 1999 as the Emeritus 
Professor of Management. The University of South Alabama's National 
Alumni Association honored Dean Mosley as an outstanding professor, a 
sentiment echoed by his former students.
  Dean Mosley brought the Alabama Banking School to the University of 
South Alabama, establishing a week-long program that brings together 
banking officials from across the state. In addition to serving as dean 
of the USA business school, Don served as dean of Leadership Alabama 
and Leadership Mississippi.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering a 
dedicated community member and friend to many throughout south Alabama. 
Don Mosley will be deeply missed by those who knew him. He is survived 
by his wife, Susan Young Mosley of Mobile; his son, Donald C. Mosley of 
Mobile; his brother, Joe Thomas Mosley of Starkville; and two 
granddaughters. He will be remembered in the thoughts and prayers of 
all those whose lives he touched and whose minds he lit with the spark 
of learning.
