  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker I rise today to honor the centennial 
birthday of Bob Franklin. He was born on January 25, 1921, in Dallas 
County, Missouri to John and Iva Franklin.
  Bob graduated from Halfway High School in Polk County and served his 
country in World War II with the U.S. Army, which took him to the 
Middle East and Asia. From 1953 through 1957 he served as the sheriff 
of Dallas County.
  Bob was also an auctioneer and owner of the Buffalo Sale Barn. He is 
the proud father of state Senator Sandy Crawford, Dr. Tama Franklin, 
and his son Randy who preceded him in death. Throughout his life, Bob 
has dedicated himself to his family and helping his community.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in wishing Bob Franklin and his family 
a happy birthday as they celebrate a century of life and service to the 
Dallas County community.
