                TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF HOWARD HENDERSON

  (Ms. McSALLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Howard Henderson, a man who was cherished by many throughout southern 
Arizona.
  Howard moved to Douglas, Arizona, in 1984, when he became the owner 
and president of KDAP-FM and KAPR-AM radio stations. He wasted no time 
making his mark, both on the air and in the community.
  Howard hosted ``The Trading Post'' morning show, one of the most 
popular and listened-to shows in the area. He broadcasted over 1,000 
high school games and supported community events, including serving on 
the local fair board. His on-air personality and active presence in 
Douglas earned him the nickname, Mr. Wonderful.
  I got to know Howard over recent years. Like many, I was touched by 
his professionalism, his grace, and his dedication to the community.
  On November 20, Howard passed away, after battling cancer, at the age 
of 65. We will miss hearing his voice on the airwaves and seeing his 
smiling face around Douglas, but we will never forget his impact on 
southern Arizona.
