                         REMEMBERING JONES WEBB

  (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 to honor the life of 
a great man, Mr. Jones Webb. Jones was a fellow Young Harris College 
graduate with an innate love and passion for the college.
  Young Harris ran in Jones' blood, as his grandfather owned a store 
and rooming house for male students at the college. His father attended 
Young Harris Academy and Young Harris College, where he graduated in 
1916 and was the editor of the college's first yearbook.
  Jones was a dedicated servant to the college and served his many 
years on the Academic Affairs Committee, Executive Committee, Planned 
Giving Committee, and the Properties Committee.
  He spent 35 years on the Young Harris College Board of Trustees 
before being elevated to emeritus trustee status in 2013. Additionally, 
Jones spent time as the secretary of the board for 17 years, from 1991-
2008, and served as college counsel for several years.
  He wore many hats and provided his keen insight, legal acumen, and 
wise counsel to ensure the college that he loved so dearly was even 
better for the next generation of students. His passion and dedication 
will always be remembered.

  My thoughts and prayers will remain with his family and friends 
during this most difficult time.
