              HONORING THE LIFE OF ALBERT EARL KLEIN, SR.

  (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 in memory of Albert 
Earl Klein, Sr., known as Al, a veteran, a fellow pharmacist, and a 
small business owner.
  Born in Mt. Pleasant in 1925, Al acquired a love for the outdoors, 
playing multiple sports, and spending his free time boating, becoming 
an accomplished fisherman at the young age of 18.
  Al went on to serve in the Army, training at Fort Bragg and 
eventually traveling to Guam as a rescue boat operator. He was 
honorably discharged after receiving multiple citations and 
decorations.
  Upon returning home, Al earned his doctorate degree in pharmacy at 
the College of Charleston and obtained his Georgia pharmacy license 
shortly thereafter.
  Al opened several drug stores, one of them in my beautiful hometown 
of Pooler, Georgia, and he enjoyed a successful career of over 60 
years.
  After retirement, Al and his wife, Ethel, enjoyed traveling, 
gardening, and visiting their four children and 12 grandchildren.
  Al was a veteran, an honorable business owner, and a family man whose 
love for the outdoors made sure he lived life to the fullest. He will 
surely be missed.
