                         HONORING STANLEY DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 11, 2018

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
talented and driven man Mr. Stanley Davis. Mr. Davis has shown what can 
be done through tenacity, dedication and a desire to serve his 
community while having a successful career.
  Stanley was born and raised in the Brickyard Hill community in Yazoo 
City, along with his mother and eight siblings. He attended school in 
Yazoo City at Main Street Elementary, and Yazoo City Junior High, 
before graduating from Yazoo City High School in 1986.
  Stanley Davis, the manager at 49 Exxon Fuelmart on Jerry Clower 
Boulevard in Yazoo City, is known for making every customer feel 
important. Over the years, the name of the convenience store changed. 
It is still commonly referred to as Mayfield's or Texaco by many Yazoo 
residents. When the store ownership changed hands ten years ago, from 
Les Mayfield to Jared Mayfield, Stanley was made the store manager 
because of his increasing dedication to the customers.
  Stanley's aim is to make sure that all customers feel important and 
that they can get everything they need in one place, from gasoline and 
propane, snacks and drinks, and simple automotive essentials, to pizza 
and even hunting and fishing supplies.
  Stanley is a husband and a father, and strives to instill hard work 
in the lives of his children. His advice to those who want a career in 
business management is to stay in school, read more, and always ask 
questions if you don't know something.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Stanley 
Davis for his desire to make a difference in his community.
