                   HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. DON HARP

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to remember and honor Dr. Don Harp, who passed away on April 20 at the 
age of 82.
  Dr. Harp was born in Inman, Georgia, where he had a humble upbringing 
as a farmer. He went on to become a baseball star and student leader at 
Young Harris College and Huntington College. He was also dedicated in 
his pursuit of ministry, going on to earn a doctorate from the 
McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.
  Dr. Harp's accolades are impressive, but his greatest legacy was his 
gift of connecting with people. He could always find good in any 
situation and gave unselfishly to his alma mater and friends.
  As a husband, father, and grandfather, many say that his greatest 
love was his family, and those who knew him best know his greatest love 
was also the Lord.
  Mr. Speaker, I had the honor and privilege of serving with Dr. Harp 
on the Young Harris College board of trustees. Don Harp loved Young 
Harris College, and Young Harris College loved Don Harp.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who 
knew him during this most difficult time.
