                       Tuesday, November 29, 2011

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a 
great leader, professor and advisor, Dr. Scott Alexander Marshall. His 
passing is a great loss to his family and the education community.
  Although he isn't a native Kentuckian, Dr. Marshall immediately 
offered his expertise to enhance the field of education in our rural 
region of southern and eastern Kentucky. He made a difference in the 
lives of hundreds of college students and took great pride in their 
success. In fact, he was a strong advocate and supporter of Phi Theta 
Kappa, the official national honor society for two-year colleges.
  Scott received his M.S., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University 
of Alabama. He retired after 33 years of teaching Business and 
Economics at Jefferson State Community College in Birmingham, Alabama. 
After moving to Somerset, Kentucky in 2000, he continued as an Adjunct 
Professor of Economics at Eastern Kentucky University.
  He was involved in numerous civic and political activities, serving 
as a member of the Adanta Board of Directors and Co-Chair of the 
Finance Committee. He also was a member of the First Presbyterian 
Church of Somerset where he served as an Elder and Co-Chair of the 
Worship Committee.
  Dr. Marshall leaves behind a devoted family: his loving wife, Dr. Jo 
Grimes Marshall; their children, Kristin Marshall Henderson and Dr. 
Scott Alexander Marshall, Jr., along with four grandsons. On behalf of 
my wife Cynthia and myself, I want to extend our deepest heartfelt 
sympathies to the Marshall family.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring a dear friend 
and champion for community colleges, the late Dr. Scott Alexander 
Marshall.
