                  HONORING THE LIFE OF HAVEN J. BARLOW

  (Mr. MOORE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Haven J. Barlow. Utah lost a community giant who lived to be 
100 years old. It is hard to believe, but Haven's life was nearly cut 
short when at just 9 months old, a train struck the Model T Ford he was 
riding in, killing his mother and three other passengers.
  Fortunately, he survived, and he lived a life full of service to 
others. Haven served our country as a Navy ensign in World War II and 
was the longest-serving State legislator in Utah history, first elected 
in 1953 and served until 1995.
  Haven's service to Utah and Davis County is immeasurable, where he 
spent much of his time focused on matters pertaining to education. He 
led the fight to establish and fund the first State vocational 
institution in Davis County, now Davis Technical College, the 
establishment of Weber State/Davis campus, and Utah's creation of the 
weighted pupil index (WPU), ensuring a child can get the same level of 
education regardless of where they lived.
  In addition, Haven helped establish the Hill Aerospace Museum, the 
Freeport Center, the restoration of Utah's Governor's mansion, and was 
behind the original Utah Symphony Endowment Fund.
  Haven was married to Bonnie Rae Ellison for 58 years before her 
passing, and raised six children. He is a Utah legend, and we honor him 
in his passing.
