                 HONORING THE LIFE OF JAMES MONTGOMERY

  (Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. James Horace 
Montgomery of Lake City, Florida, who I am sad to say recently passed 
away at the age of 86.
  Mr. Montgomery, affectionately known as ``Mr. Mont,'' graduated from 
Columbia High School in 1951 and would later teach at several schools 
in Lake City, including the high school he graduated from and Florida 
Gateway College. He dedicated 60 years in all to educating our youth 
and was a role model to every student with whom he crossed paths.
  Mr. Montgomery also devoted much of his life to the First 
Presbyterian Church, singing in the choir for over 50 years. He was an 
Eagle Scout, served as a county commissioner for 28 years, and was on 
the North Florida Regional Council for 27 years.
  Mr. Mont will be missed by his entire community, but his legacy and 
the impact that he made will never be forgotten.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing and honoring the life of 
Mr. Montgomery.
