                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 18, 2010

  Mr. AUSTRIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of 
Ohio's Seventh Congressional District to honor the life and memory of 
Carl Day.
  As a 50-year veteran broadcaster, Carl Day was known as the Voice of 
Dayton. According

[[Page E1972]]

to the Dayton Area Broadcaster's Hall of Fame, Carl won more awards 
than any other Ohio broadcaster.
  As a news anchor he worked for each of the Dayton TV stations and 
WHIO Radio, winning seven Emmys during his career. In 1998, The 
Associated Press renamed its Outstanding Achievement Award ``The Carl 
Day Award for Outstanding Achievement.'' In 2009, Carl was inducted 
into the Dayton Walk of Fame as recognition of his dedication to his 
job and his community. In addition, he was a member of six broadcasting 
halls of fame.
  He was committed to his profession, but what he most will be 
remembered for is his dedication to this community, his family and 
friends. He was known to volunteer his time raising funds for a variety 
of local entities. As the son of a military family, he was devoted to 
our area veterans and the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base community.
  One of Carl's aspirations was to create a foundation to support young 
broadcasters. With the establishment of A Brighter Day: The Carl Day 
Memorial Foundation, his family has made his plan a reality.
  After a hard fought battle with cancer, Carl Day, 72, passed away on 
November 17, 2010 surrounded by his son and daughter. Carl's life will 
continue to be an inspiration to all those who loved him and to the 
community he served so well.
