  Mr. HALL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory 
and accomplishments of a man who dedicated his life to showing 
generosity towards others, Moody Newell Siebman of Pottsboro, Texas, 
who passed away last year.
  Mr. Siebman was born March 27, 1932 in Wichita Falls, Texas, to 
school teachers Moody Nugent Siebman and Rudy Steedman Siebman. He 
married Carol Sue Gillum on March 8, 1958 in Collinsville, Texas and 
they had two children, my good friend and outstanding citizen Clyde 
Siebman, their daughter Annette Skupin, and four grandchildren, 
Elizabeth Siebman and Katie, Becca and Sam Skupin. Mr. Siebman was 
proud to be a fifth generation resident of Grayson County whose great-
grandfather, S.D. Steedman was a Grayson County Judge in the 1800s.
  Much of Mr. Siebman's professional life was dedicated to the 
transportation industry, where he worked in all aspects of the industry 
from long-haul truck driver to owner and manager of multi-truck fleets. 
He also worked as a traffic manager for twelve years and in 1998 as

a senior driver for the United States Brass Corporation.
  After retirement, Mr. Siebman spent his remaining years devoted to 
his family, hunting and fishing. He was a tireless worker for 
conservative candidates in local political campaigns. He was known for 
his generosity and for being a loyal friend and neighbor.
  The family and friends of Moody Newell Siebman will long remember his 
devotion to his family and to his community, and the legacy of this 
fifth-generation Texan will continue in the lives of his children and 
grandchildren.
