                      REMEMBERING RUSSELL PETERSON

  (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 Russ 
Peterson, a remarkable Georgian.
  Russ was born in Park Ridge, Illinois, and was the son of the late 
Russ and Helen Peterson, devoted husband to his wife, Louise Peterson, 
and loving father and grandfather.
  Russ was known for his good sense of humor, his love for life, and 
contagious laughter among friends.
  Russ earned his bachelor's degree from DePauw University in 
Greencastle, Indiana, and went to work with Allstate Insurance. He 
retired as a regional vice president after more than 35 years of 
service.
  Russ was heavily involved in the betterment of his community, serving 
as president of the Landings Association. Russ also served on the Board 
of Marshes of Skidaway Island, St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation Board, 
the Chatham Leadership Board, and was involved in the American Cancer 
Society.
  He played a major role in the building of the beautiful bridge to 
Skidaway Island and started a Parkinson's support group that continues 
to benefit people today. He was also very involved in the Republican 
Club of Skidaway Island.
  A loving father and husband, outdoorsman, community advocate, and 
agent of change, Russ will be dearly missed.
