  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Todd Gale. Mr. Gale was an outstanding Mississippian and I 
join his loved ones in mourning his loss.
  Todd was born In Columbus, Mississippi on October 9, 1968. He was 
educated at Heritage Academy before matriculating to Mississippi State 
University where he studied Landscape Architecture. After graduating, 
he joined the United States Forest Service in Ketchikan, Alaska.
  Todd Gale married Stephanie McLain on July 16, 1994. With her 
support, Todd earned his Masters Degree in Economic Development from 
the University of Southern Mississippi. He soon became the General 
Manager of Columbus Light and Water. He served on the boards of the 
Tennessee Valley Public Power Association and American Public Power 
Association. Todd was a community servant and was active on the boards 
of Main Street Columbus, Columbus Lowndes Humane Society, Mississippi 
University for Women Advisory Board and St. Paul's Episcopal Church 
Vestry and Junior Warden.
  Left to cherish Todd's memory are his wife, Stephanie; children, 
Stormy and Gunnar; and his godchildren. Todd was a beloved member of 
the Columbus community and a man dedicated to his family and faith. He 
will be deeply missed.
