                     HONORING MAYOR RAYMOND BAGSHAW

  (Mrs. DEMINGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DEMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mayor 
Raymond Bagshaw, who passed away March 10.
  Mayor Bagshaw's service to our community and to helping small 
businesses was unwavering. As the mayor of the city of Edgewood, he 
brought what was called boundless ingenuity to his city where he 
started numerous projects, including transforming a vacant, desolate 
lot into a beautiful park. Today, the park, which bears his name, hosts 
numerous events and family-filled activities.
  A true public servant, Mayor Bagshaw was never afraid to roll up his 
sleeves and work in the trenches. During natural disasters, it was 
natural for him to pitch in to clean up debris or direct traffic around 
downed power lines.
  Mr. Speaker, I join Mayor Bagshaw's family, the city council, and 
citizens of Edgewood in celebrating his life and legacy and thanking 
him for a job well done.
