                       Thursday, January 21, 2010

  Mr. HERGER. Madam Speaker, it is with sadness that I recognize the 
loss of a wonderful public servant for Northern California, Mr. Doug 
Young. Doug was born on a small family farm in Sutter County and lived 
in Yolo County from 1971 until his death on January 3, 2010. He was 
married to his high school sweetheart, Diane Lee Young, for fifty-two 
years, and they have four grown children, five grandchildren, four 
great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
  Doug received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of 
California, Davis in 1958. Alter graduating, he worked as a loan 
processor and real estate appraiser at the Farm Credit Association 
until 1966. He performed similar tasks as a Regional Director of the 
United States Department of Agriculture's Farmers Home Administration 
Loan Program from 1969 until 1977. He later established Douglas W. 
Young and Associates, where he acted as a consultant for development in 
rural areas of California, with a special focus on helping low and 
middle-income families.
  Doug also served his nation and community through his efforts to 
advance the values and principles he believed in. He was a member of 
the Yolo County Republican Central Committee and volunteered many hours 
for the cause he was committed to and the like-minded individuals who 
sought elected office to uphold his cherished principles. He will be 
missed greatly by his family, his friends, his colleagues, and the 
countless people he affected in a positive and enduring way. I was 
proud to call him a friend, and privileged to watch him serve others 
with great sincerity and passion.
