                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 4, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to recognize Mr. James A. ``Pappy'' Dunn, 
and his extraordinary service to our country.
  Born in Georgia in 1917, James Dunn attended high school in 
Montgomery, AL, and graduated from Alabama State University with a 
degree in chemistry in 1935. During World War II, from 1942 to 1945 he 
served our Nation in uniform along with Allied Forces in Europe. After 
returning from the war, he served as a coach and principal of the 
Calhoun County Training School, at which he served for 47 years. In 
1987, Mr. Dunn became the first African-American elected to serve as a 
Calhoun County Commissioner. Since then, he has established himself as 
a community leader dedicated to working tirelessly for the people of 
Calhoun County, AL.
  On December 7, Mr. Dunn and his family and friends will celebrate his 
90th birthday. On behalf of so many of us across east Alabama, I thank 
Mr. Dunn for his lifetime of service to our community and our Nation, 
and wish him all the best at this important milestone in his life.
