HONORING THE LIFE OF HARRY K. WEAVER
(Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of the late
Harry K. Weaver of Live Oak, Florida. From a very young age, Mr. Weaver
had an unwavering desire to serve others and make the world a better
place.
Mr. Weaver was born in 1929 in Bristol, Florida. Shortly after
earning his degree at Florida State University, he enlisted in the
United States Army.
Following years of service to our country, he returned to Florida,
where he would dedicate more than 33 years of his life first as the
administrator, then the president of the Florida Sheriffs Youth
Ranches, a program that has served over 150,000 children.
Harry was also a founding member of the National Association of Homes
for Children, where he served as its first president. His legacy will
live on in Suwannee County, and the impact that he has made on the
youth has left a lasting impression.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the life and legacy of Mr.
Harry Weaver.
