            REMEMBERING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. DON BEACH

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of Dr. Don Beach, who left a lasting impression on everyone 
that had the privilege to know him.
  Dr. Beach dedicated his life to education. His love for the classroom 
began with teaching science and biology to high school and elementary 
school students. In 1981, after 8 years at UT Arlington, Dr. Beach 
joined Tarleton State University as the dean of the School of Education 
and Fine Arts, but he could not be kept out of the classroom, later 
returning to full-time teaching as the professor of educational 
leadership.
  Today, we are joined by doctoral students from Tarleton State 
University here on their annual education doctoral trip, originally 
created by Dr. Beach. His dedication and guidance have inspired the 
students sitting here today who deeply mourn his absence.
  Dr. Beach is remembered by many of us as one of the most impactful 
faculty members in Tarleton history. His contributions to Tarleton, 
both as a faculty member and as a mentor, will never be forgotten.
  In God we trust.
