                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 20, 2008

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a friend and true 
West Virginian David Tyson.
  Mr. Tyson is a lawyer from Huntington, WV who continually puts his 
community and State first. On October 2, 2008, David Tyson was inducted 
into the Greater Huntington Wall of Fame by the City of Huntington 
Foundation. David has worked tirelessly for his community as well as 
the State of West Virginia.
  In April 2002, David was appointed by President Bush to the national 
advisory board for the Kennedy Center in Washington. He continually 
serves as an ambassador for the arts. Since becoming a member of that 
board, David has been interested in restoration; on a local level 
becoming involved with the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in 
Huntington. Mr. Tyson is best known for his involvement in this 
project, which culminated in the theater serving as the location for 
the premier of the Warner Brothers major motion picture release ``We 
Are Marshall.'' Mr. Tyson was also recognized as the Citizen of the 
Year in 2007 by the Herald-Dispatch, the major news publication in 
Huntington, West Virginia.
  I applaud David Tyson's unending commitment to civic duty.
