                         HONORING NATORRA MOODY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor Natorra Moody for receiving the Alma-Bacon Georgia Library 
Employee of the Year award for 2021.
  Natorra has exceptionally high standards for herself, of her 
coworkers, and of our library system, helping to maintain the highest 
caliber of public service.
  She is dedicated to serving her community by leading programs such as 
a prom dress donation campaign which helps students who can't afford 
formal wear by allowing them to borrow the dresses freely from the 
library.
  She regularly participates in community events as well to promote her 
library and the stellar services it provides.
  This past year, Natorra has taken on the role of managing the Appling 
County Public Library during the renovation period and beyond. Her 
dedication, hard work, and love originate from a simple volunteer 
position at her local library when she was a high school student.
  I thank Natorra for all she does to benefit others.


                  Remembering the Life of Bill Roberts

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life of a dedicated member of our community, as well as a fellow Young 
Harris alumnus, Bill Roberts of Fayetteville, Georgia.
  Bill was the recipient of the Young Harris Medallion, the highest 
honor that is bestowed by the college for his love and support 
throughout his years.
  Recruited to come to Young Harris as a basketball star, Bill was so 
much more, serving as a champion debater and officer of both the SPAT 
clubs and Student Government Association. He earned a bachelor's degree 
in economics and continued his basketball career at Mercer University, 
proceeded to Georgia State to earn a business and accounting degree, 
and finally received a law degree from Woodrow Wilson.
  He served our great State of Georgia on the financial side, 
overseeing massive construction projects like the Georgia Dome and 
World Congress Center. Bill's expertise was put to use as a trustee of 
the State's Employees' Retirement System where he served on the 
Investment Committee and was responsible for investing retirement funds 
to the humble tune of $12 billion.
  Emeritus trustee for Young Harris, distinguished alumni, veteran, and 
loved member of our community are just a few of the titles that Bill 
retained. This is a tremendous loss that will be felt by many.


                Recognizing the Service of Pam Southard

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
service of an incredible Georgian, Pam Southard.
  Pam has served as the executive director of the Greater Pooler Area 
Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. She has selflessly put her 
heart and soul into her position and worked to better the city of 
Pooler in any way that she can.
  As the executive director, Pam was instrumental in creating the 
shuttle system to and from the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration in 
Savannah. She also founded the annual Hearts for Heroes Gala Fundraiser 
to help put Pooler, Georgia, on the map. This upscale, black-tie event 
has sold out for the past 7 years and has been an incredible event for 
our community.
  Throughout her tenure as executive director, Pam has overseen 
substantial business growth in the city of Pooler, thanks to her 
guiding hand. Pam has truly been the embodiment of what it means to be 
a servant to one's community.
  Her retirement will leave big shoes to fill, and we will certainly 
miss her. We are grateful for all that she has done for our great city 
and wish her the best as she enters a new stage of her life.

                    Remembering the Life of Jon Lott

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
life of Jon Lott, a devoted Christian, full of curiosity, and committed 
to serving everyone he encountered. He attended and graduated from 
Nicholls School, where he was senior class president and played 
basketball.
  After high school, Jon would follow in his father's footsteps by 
attending North Georgia University, joining the Corps of Cadets. 
Military life didn't agree with Jon, and he graduated from Georgia 
Southern University.
  Jon would go on to be the president of Nicholls State Bank as well as 
serving in leadership roles in several other banks. At the time of his 
passing, Jon was serving as the executive vice president of FNB South, 
where he had worked for almost three decades.
  He was especially proud of the time he spent with the Coffee Regional 
Medical board, further helping his neighbors.
  Jon was a man who was loved and admired by those who knew him and 
those whom he helped, which were many. My thoughts and prayers reside 
with his family, friends, and community as they mourn this tremendous 
loss of a friend, neighbor, loved one, and servant.
