                     HONORING PAUL HAMILTON PLOEGER

  (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 
Paul Hamilton Ploeger. Paul grew up in Darien, Georgia, before moving 
to Brunswick where he finished high school at Glynn Academy.
  Following graduation in 1960, he was commissioned as an ensign in the 
United States Navy, and he was stationed in many different States 
across the country.
  After serving in the Navy, Paul, his wife, Carole, and his children 
moved to South Carolina where he worked as an engineer and systems 
analyst for Allied Chemical in Irmo.
  In 1975, Paul moved back to Georgia where he worked for the American 
National Bank in Brunswick and then began his association with 
Southeastern Bank in Darien in 1983 until his retirement in 2005.
  Paul was a devoted member of the Coastal Georgia Historical Society 
and the Brunswick Kiwanis Club where he participated in projects to 
better the lives of children in the community. He also volunteered his 
time as a mentor for middle school students.
  Paul will be missed by all, and I send my condolences to his family.
