                  HONORING THE LIFE OF CLARENCE MORGAN

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Clarence Morgan the longtime county recreation director for 
Effingham County.
  Clarence started with the department in 1980 and worked until he was 
promoted to director in 2001. His passion for health and wellness, 
including promoting an active lifestyle for community members, 
culminated in his development of the Effingham County Recreation 
Department.
  With limited resources and hard work, Clarence managed to grow the 
program into one of the top programs in the State. In 2020, the brand 
new, state-of-the-art gym was opened and named in his honor.
  Known by all for his integrity and great strength of character, 
Clarence dedicated his life to ensuring a brighter, healthier future 
for Effingham County residents. The department that he re-ignited is a 
testament to his life's work. Our State and our community will forever 
remember the life and legacy of Clarence Morgan.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his friends as we 
mourn the loss of this great Georgian.
