  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of one of 
Georgia's best, Vidalia Mayor Ronnie Dixon.
  Following in his father's footsteps, Ronnie took office in January 
1994 and has dedicated his life to serving the city. Prior to his 
tenure as Mayor, he served as a member of the City

Council for 16 years. His commitment to serving the community should 
inspire us all.
  Vidalia is a special place, known for growing the sweetest onions in 
the world--a distinction which Ronnie was immensely proud. His support 
of our farmers will be remembered for generations, as agriculture is 
Georgia's top industry.
  Ronnie's passion for service has left a lasting impact on the Vidalia 
community, and it has been felt throughout the entire state of Georgia. 
It is my privilege to honor his life and legacy before the United 
States House of Representatives.
