  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize the retirement of K.L. ``Koven'' Brown.
  Mr. Brown will be selling his two businesses, K.L. Brown Funeral Home 
and Cremation Center, which he has owned since 1978, and K.L. Brown 
Memory Chapel, at the end of this month.
  Mr. Brown wanted to be a mortician since he was a young boy. He 
graduated from Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery in 1969, and 
was the first graduating class from Kentucky School of Mortuary Science 
in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1971.
  Mr. Brown is in his second term in the Alabama House of 
Representatives and is looking forward to travelinig more with his 
wife, Mandee, now that he is retiring.
  Mr. Brown has two children: Allison (deceased) and Emily who is 
married to James Avery. He is blessed with four grandchildren: Charlie, 
Austin, Savannah and Tyler. His mother, Dr. Faye Brown, lives in 
Clanton.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing K.L. Brown and 
congratulating him on his much-deserved retirement.
