  Mr. FERGUSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the passing of Mr. 
Dale Freeman. Mr. Dale Freeman was, simply put, the best teacher I ever 
had at any level of education. More than any other instructor, he 
taught me how to think independently and creatively. He taught me how 
to be disciplined in the basic foundations of writing and critical 
thinking. Having a solid foundation is essential to creativity because 
it provides a place to return to after exploring new ideas. Mr. Freeman 
truly loved learning and teaching. He cared deeply about his students 
and made them better equipped to handle the world around them. In fact, 
his work with students has given them the tools to shape the world 
around them. He was a compassionate person and I am grateful to have 
had him as an instructor. As we mark his passing here today, I wish his 
family healing in this season of loss
