  Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish Carson Williams a 
Happy Birthday.
  Carson was born on July 30, 1999 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is the 
son of Carlton Williams and Gretchen Richards.
  Carson attends Signal Mountain Middle High School--home of the 
Eagles--located in Signal Mountain, Tennessee. From the time he could 
swing a bat, Carson played t-ball and Dixie Youth baseball. Today, 
Carson plays baseball for the Signal Mountain Middle High School 
varsity team. He is one on the best ball players on Signal Mountain.
  As well as baseball, Carson loves to wake board, snow board, and play 
basketball. He kayaks, fishes and camps with his dad. Sometimes they go 
to the Nantahala River. They are best friends forever.
  Carson and his mom are best friends forever, too. Carson and his mom 
do school projects together and cook. Carson also spends time on the 
lake with his mom and stepdad Mike. At 13 years old, Carson earned his 
boating license. He now drives a pontoon. Carson and Mike also like to 
hunt together. They hunt in Alabama, and anywhere else with lots of 
woods.
  Carson loves Funyuns, Dr. Pepper, sea food, rare prime rib, and his 
family. He is proud to be from Tennessee.
  Carson's sister is Margot Clark, married happily ever after to 
Justin.
  Carson's grandparents on his paternal side are the late Thomas 
``Papa'' Williams, a graduate of Texas A&M (Class of '60), and Mildred 
``Mimi'' Williams, a retired school teacher who graduated from the 
University of South Carolina Aiken where she was a Who's Who Among 
Students in American Colleges and Universities. Carson says no one 
makes chicken and dumplings better than his Mimi. Carson misses his 
Papa.
  On his maternal side, Carson's grandparents are Albert and Betty 
Jones, and Mike and Sue Richards. Albert is a graduate of Sewanee: The 
University of the South. Betty graduated from the University of 
Tennessee and was a tennis coach at Chattanooga State. She is teaching 
Carson to play tennis. Mike is a graduate of Auburn University, and Sue 
graduated from Troy State and earned a Master's degree from the 
University of Alabama. Grandma Sue is one of the best cooks Carson 
knows.
  Carson's aunts are Lisa Williams, Cindy Jones, and Lynn Civitts.
  Carson wants a truck one day soon. For now, he has to make do with 
happy birthday wishes from his family.
