                 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF GEORGE FENTON

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate the life of a very 
good friend, a dedicated father, a great neighbor, George Fenton.
  He was born on Valentine's Day in 1935 and devoted his entire life to 
serving his country and his community. After graduating from high 
school in Detroit, Michigan, George joined the U.S. Marine Corps. 
Decades after his service in the Marine Corps, he often talked and 
relayed stories about his time at boot camp in Parris Island and Camp 
Lejeune, and he called it his hot weather training at Twentynine Palms.
  Later, George moved his entire family to Garden Grove. He worked for 
the

city of Orange before joining the Orange County Sheriff's Department in 
1971. That is where he met his wife, Lynn, at the courthouse on the job 
in 1989. They were married in Santa Ana in 1991, and recently they 
celebrated 31 years of marriage.
  After George retired from the Orange County Sheriff's Department in 
1993, he spent the next 15 years working at Disneyland as a cast member 
and ticket taker.
  George, you will be missed. Thank you for your time and service.
