                         HONORING BILL EDWARDS

  (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 honor of the 
inspiring career of Mr. Bill Edwards, who is a native resident of 
Savannah, Georgia.
  After graduating from Groves High School, Bill went on to attend both 
the University of Mississippi and Armstrong Atlantic State University, 
completing his education with a master's in the arts and 
communications.
  After serving in his high school JROTC, he furthered his interest in 
the Army by serving in the Army ROTC at Ole Miss and eventually joining 
the U.S. Army Signal Corps. He continued this career until he reached 
the rank of captain in a military intelligence unit in Savannah. Aside 
from his military career, Bill was blessed with a loving wife and seven 
grandchildren, whom he adores.
  Once he left the service, Bill focused his energy into a successful 
career in radio broadcasting, eventually becoming host of what is now 
``AM Savannah'' on News Radio. Bill's commitment was rewarded when he 
was recognized by the Associated Press for sportscasting excellence and 
when he won the honor of Savannah's Favorite Talk Station for 3 years 
in a row.

  I am so grateful for Bill Edwards and his tireless commitment to 
improving his community. Bill is an outstanding Georgian, and I thank 
him for all he does for his community.
