  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, it is with sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Harry Dunford, United States Navy (Ret.) of 
Lexington, Missouri.
  Harry Dunford was born on May 19, 1925, in Lexington, Missouri, to 
Harry and Hattie Barron Dunford. Harry served his country in the United 
States Navy from 1943 to 1946. He was a World War II veteran, serving 
on the USS President Jackson as a Radioman 3rd Class.
  In addition to serving his country in the Armed Forces, Harry had 
been an insurance investigator, quartermaster at Wentworth Military 
Academy, and a co-owner of Merchants Credit Bureau. He was a member of 
Lexington First Christian Church, an Elder and Deacon Emeritus. He was 
also a life member of V.F.W. Post 4052, a member of the Lexington 
Jaycees, a columnist for the Lexington News, a member of the Lafayette 
County Veteran's Memorial Committee, and a one-time Secretary for the 
USS President Jackson Association.
  Madam Speaker, I know the members of the House will join me in 
extending heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
