                         Thursday, July 7, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a very special 
constituent of the 26th District of Texas, Georgia Caraway. After 13 
years of service as the Executive Director of the Denton County 
Museums, Mrs. Caraway will retire later this month.
  As Executive Director, Mrs. Caraway's professionalism and dedication 
has greatly impacted her community; she has spent her career striving 
to preserve Denton County's history through projects such as the 
Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum and the establishment of Denton 
County's Historical Park. Mrs. Caraway believes her greatest 
accomplishment

was the founding of the Denton County African American Museum. Through 
her astute leadership and cooperative fundraising efforts, she enabled 
the restoration of the county's museums and saved taxpayers thousands 
of dollars. In addition to her work with the museums, she has also 
helped complete a series of historical photography books that 
commemorate Denton County, and she hopes these achievements will 
encourage others to remember the county's origins and history.
  Mrs. Caraway has left a lasting legacy in Denton County through her 
work. I thank Mrs. Caraway for her service and am proud to represent 
her in Congress.
