            HONORING FRED ALEXANDER OF GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA

  (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 the life of 
Mr. Fred Alexander of Glynn County, Georgia.
  Born in 1940 in Vidalia, Georgia, Fred was a standout athlete in 
football, basketball, baseball, and track. After graduating from Lyons 
High School, he went on to attend Georgia Teachers College, then Austin 
Peay State University in Tennessee on a football scholarship.
  Along with his brother Bill, Fred owned the Island Grove Motel before 
joining the local banking industry, an industry he worked in for 35 
years.
  Outside of his professional life, Fred was a longtime member of St. 
Simons United Methodist Church, a past president of the Brunswick 
Exchange Club, and a member of Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors.
  Being an avid golfer, he also served on the Board of Directors of the 
Brunswick Country Club. He enjoyed spending his time off the golf 
course playing gin rummy and dancing with his beloved wife, Janie.
  One of his newest hobbies was waving good morning to the Glynn Middle 
School students as they passed by his Lanier Boulevard home.
  Fred is survived by his wife, five children, and a whole host of 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  My sincerest condolences go out to the Alexander family during this 
difficult time.
