                HONORING GEORGE SCHWARZ AS GRAND MARSHAL

  (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 George 
Schwarz, who was chosen to be the grand marshal for this year's 
Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade.

[[Page H1133]]

  Mr. Schwarz, a graduate of Jenkins High School, has spent his entire 
life living in and serving Savannah. His dedication to his hometown is 
matched by his pride in his Irish heritage.
  Mr. Schwarz has served on the parade council for almost 40 years; a 
council that his father and grandfather served on as well.
  Being chosen to be the grand marshal for this parade is the highest 
honor for any Savannahian with Irish blood, and I cannot think of 
anyone more deserving than Mr. Schwarz.
  To be a grand marshal is no small honor. It is a recognition of years 
of hard work. He knows this parade so well that I have even heard that 
if he is given a random parade float number, he can tell you exactly 
what floats will come before and after that one.
  I know that Mr. Schwarz will make a great grand marshal, and I look 
forward to seeing the parade he puts on.
