  Mrs. ELLMERS. Mr. Speaker, with a heavy heart, I am saddened to 
announce the passing of Herbert ``Herb'' Greenberg. Herb was a

champion and an advocate for the Rocky Mount community he served and 
was a blessing to me, personally, when my district still included Nash 
County.
   Herb's humble spirit and ambitious nature contributed to his 
successful launch of WHIG-TV, a community-based TV station that was the 
first of its kind. The station was used to promote local events and 
played a large role in keeping everyone in the community informed. 
Because of this, Herb was a trusted voice and source for many in Nash 
County.
   Herb worked alongside many members of our community, serving in 
groups such as the Christian Fellowship Home and the Frederick E. 
Turnage Chapter of the American Red Cross. A recipient of the annual 
and prestigious Woody Brown Award, Herb was known as the driving force 
behind many of the wonderful events taking place in Rocky Mount.
   While I am saddened by his passing, I am encouraged by the legacy 
Herb leaves behind--as it is one that displays his passion and 
commitment to service, both to his community and family. I am better 
for knowing Herb, and his spirit will be greatly missed.
