              REMEMBERING WILLIAM W. ``BUCK'' CROSBY, SR.

  (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 remembrance of 
William ``Buck'' Crosby. He served as an educator of chemistry and 
biology for 40 years at Risley High School and retired as the interim 
superintendent of Glynn County Schools.
  He was a member of the YWCA Foundation Board, where he held the 
position as first vice president of the Golden Isles Arts and 
Humanities Association.
  He was the recipient of many awards in his community, including being 
inducted into the Benedict College Class of 2023 Athletic Hall of Fame. 
He was also the first and only African-American chairman of the 
Hospital Authority, and he was the first African American to receive 
the 10th Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia Bishop's Award.
  He will be remembered as a teacher, an administrator, a friend to 
all, and an example for all of us to live up to.
  I extend my deepest sympathies to his family.
