             REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF JAMES ``JAMIE'' PARKER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life of James ``Jamie'' Parker, who passed away on Monday, February 25, 
at the age of 65.
  Upon his passing, Mr. Parker had worked for 10 years as the editor 
for ``Bryan County Now'' as well as the night editor for the ``Savannah 
Morning News.''
  He reported on nearly everything happening in Richmond Hill, from 
sporting events to city council hearings, tear-jerking accidents, and 
stories where individuals made heartwarming contributions to their 
community.
  His friends remember Mr. Parker not only as a trustworthy journalist 
reporting on these stories, but also a great friend and having a heart 
as big as the country.
  Deeply dedicated to his community, he attended more local sporting 
events than anyone else in town.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the entire 
Richmond Hill community during this difficult time.
